The stakes
Round of 32, full time: Spain 3-0 Austria. Single elimination — one side's run ends here.
- storylineSpain — the champions who can't break a wallStumbled out of the gate: 0-0 vs debutants Cape Verde (June 15), 27 shots and nothing to show. Yamal, just back from a hamstring injury, started on the bench. All four Group H teams are level on 1 point — the tightest group in the tournament.
The two sides
SpainFavorites who stumbled out the gate
Reigning European champions and a genuine title favorite, with 18-year-old Lamine Yamal in the #10 and Rodri back from injury holding it together — the redemption arc is loaded and inevitable.
AustriaHard-running team that upsets favorites
Built on identity, not just talent — Rangnick's relentless gegenpress, a captain back from a career-threatening injury, a chip on the shoulder from 28 years away. The team most likely to wreck your bracket.
