La Roja recovered its best version to beat Austria and confirm itself as a candidate for the World Cup title.
Spain reaffirmed its status as absolute favorite by dismantling Austria with a resounding 2-0 in the round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup, a result that accurately reflects the dominance exerted during the ninety minutes. Under the direction of Luis de la Fuente, the Spanish team abandoned the doubts of the group stage to display high-intensity football, offensive fluidity and tactical clarity that left an Austrian rival who never found direction without options. The match was defined by the relentless pace set by La Roja, which allowed no pauses or respites, transforming possession into a weapon of mass destruction rather than an end in itself.
