Their tournament
how their World Cup unfoldedSpain dismantled Austria with something close to routine authority in the Round of 32, Oyarzabal scoring either side of a Porro strike to complete a 3-0 victory that was never seriously in doubt. Austria offered little going forward and were largely spent as a force after the interval. A group-stage campaign that delivered four points from three matches — including a draw and a win alongside a defeat — ultimately served only as a passport to face the defending champions, who showed them the door without ceremony.
