70\u2019 Spain 2-0 Austria<\/strong>
One word to describe this Spain performance so far is routine.
Austria have crafted a couple of half-threatening moments, but on the whole it\u2019s been one-way traffic, in favour of Luis de la Fuente\u2019s dominant Spain side.
At times, it has almost looked effortless from Spain, but given how habitually smooth their play is, that isn\u2019t surprising. <\/p>\n

I wondered if people had lost the energy to fight over hydration breaks. No. Loads of booing as we stop for tactical resets, I mean drinks.
69\u2019 Spain 2-0 Austria<\/strong>
That should do it for Spain, second goal much deserved for their dominance throughout. Also speaks well to their squad depth – Baena and Porro started this tournament as back-ups, but have earned their spots in the XI.

Game over and to be totally honest, it\u2019s been game over for some time. Austria just haven\u2019t had enough of the play to hold Spain off. That was another ruthless goal, and a thudding header. Porro\u2019s run is terrific, right into the slot.
68\u2019 Spain 2-0 Austria<\/strong>
That was a really patient build-up as both Olmo and Cucurella look like they will find a breakthrough in the box but eventually the ball comes to Baena who stands the cross up.
In steams Porro with a well-placed header to make it two.
66\u2019 Spain 2-0 Austria<\/strong>
Just when Austria looked to be finding their way back into this, Spain make it two!

65\u2019 Spain 1-0 Austria<\/strong>
A clear message from Ralf Rangnick about how he intends to get Austria back into this game with both Marko Arnautovic <\/strong>and Sasa Kalajdzic<\/strong> on the field.
Kalajdzic nearly scored with his very first touch, but that definitely sets a renewed tone for Austria.
Their introductions will give the largely untroubled centre-back pairing of Pau Cubarsi and Aymeric Laporte something to think about. <\/p>\n

65\u2019 Spain 1-0 Austria<\/strong>
Towering strikers Marko Arnautovic (6'4") and Sasa Kalajdzic (6'7") are summoned from the bench by Ralf Rangnick as Austria seek an aerial route back into the game. This must be one of the tallest strike partnerships in World Cup history.
64\u2019 Spain 1-0 Austria<\/strong>
That is a close one \u2014 Arnautovic races onto a long ball and collides with Unai Simon who has to race off his line and head clear to beat the Austria striker to the ball.
Luckily both are up on their feet again now.
62\u2019 Spain 1-0 Austria<\/strong>
Finally, a meaningful Austria chance. The ball in from the left is a really good one, flat and inviting, and Sasa Kalajdzic (he of the last-gasp epic against Algeria) gets a good header on it.
Just over the top. But while it\u2019s 1-0, chances like that will keep Spain thinking.
61\u2019 Spain 1-0 Austria<\/strong>
This is the first time I've ever seen Lamine Yamal in the flesh and he is such a treat for the eyes. So languid, so technically assured and so smooth in everything he does. Must be intensely annoying for opposition defenders to be continually bested by a guy who plays like he's casually looking up from his phone whenever he receives the ball.
61\u2019 Spain 1-0 Austria<\/strong>
The naiveties in Paul Wanner\u2019s game are clear. A few times in this game he's danced around a defender or two, only to make a bad decision and undo his own work. That's what needs to change.
