Spain Impress in Victory Over Austria
Spain appeared formidable as they secured a 3-0 win against Austria to advance to the last 16, where they will face Portugal or Croatia. This marked Spain's first knockout stage victory since their 2010 championship. On a pleasant sunny afternoon, Spain displayed the style their coach had anticipated, with two goals from Mikel Oyarzabal and one from Pedro Porro.
"Almost perfect," Luis de la Fuente remarked following the match.

"No wonder Newcastle United are working overtime to wrap up a deal for Johan Manzambi," the report noted.
