Cucurella and Porro, the power of the full-backs that unbalanced Austria
The defensive solidity and creativity of the Spanish full-backs were key in the 3-0 victory against Austria. Yamal scored his first goal with La Roja and consolidated the De la Fuente model.
Spain crushed Austria 3-0 in a match where the combination of defensive solidity and offensive overflow made Luis de la Fuente's tactical direction clear. Full-backs Pedro Porro and Marc Cucurella became the team's creative engine, allowing the midfield – with Rodri and as brains – to control the pace of the match. The victory, achieved at the La Cartuja stadium, came in the 90+1 minute, but Spanish dominance was absolute from the first whistle.
