Spain vs Austria: Live Stream, TV Channel, and Kickoff Time for World Cup Round of 32

Spain Faces Austria in World Cup Round of 32

The reigning European champions, Spain, aim to regain their World Cup momentum against a determined Austria squad that scraped into the knockout stage with a last-minute equalizer. Spain topped Group H but showed inconsistency, starting with a goalless draw against Cape Verde before dominating Saudi Arabia 4-0 and edging Uruguay 1-0.

Spain's World Cup glory dates back to 2010, but recent tournaments have seen them exit at the round of 16, losing to Morocco in 2022 and Russia in 2018. Leading the attack, Mikel Oyarzabal has scored twice, while Lamine Yamal has also contributed a goal as La Roja push for a deeper run.

Austria's Chaotic Road to Knockouts

Austria advanced from Group J in dramatic fashion. Their spot was secured after a thrilling 3-3 draw with Algeria, where Sasa Kalajdzic netted a stoppage-time equalizer six minutes into the second half of added time. This marks Austria’s first World Cup appearance since 1998, where they were eliminated in the group stage. Their best results came long ago, finishing fourth in 1934 and third in 1954.

Marko Arnautovic leads Austria with two goals, supported by midfielders Konrad Laimer and Marcel Sabitzer, who orchestrate the team's efforts. Austria hopes to cause one of the tournament’s significant surprises.
