Two goals from Mikel Oyarzabal and a header from Pedro Porro helped Spain beat Austria 3-0 in the World Cup last-16 on Thursday.
The European champions controlled possession and tore through the Austrian defense in a typically dominant display in Los Angeles, while Hollywood stars Penelope Cruz, Javier Bardem and singer Rosalía cheered.
The win – which could have been by a wider margin, with a disallowed goal and a free kick off the woodwork – sets up a thrilling showdown with either Portugal or Croatia in the round of 16.
SoFi Stadium was a sea of red and excitement was sky high for the World Cup favourites’ first visit to America’s second city.
Spain gradually increased the pressure in the first half and created several chances after the first hydration break.
Mark Cucurella thought he had scored from a Lamine Yamal corner, but it was ruled that Pau Kubarsi had encroached on the Austrian goalkeeper.
