Pedro Porro off the mark! Ex-Sporting man heads in, Spain-Austria (video) | OneFootball

This Thursday, in Los Angeles, Spain defeated Austria 3-0 in the round of 32 of the World Cup and qualified for the round of 16. The next opponent will be Portugal, who beat Croatia. Pedro Porro, former right-back of Sporting, scored one of La Roja’s goals.

. The 18-year-old contributed with dribbles, passes and shots, such as the first of the game, in the opening minute, which was saved by goalkeeper Alexander Schlager.

Spain’s persistence was rewarded in the 36th minute with a goal. Marc Cucurella crossed from the left and found Mikel Oyarzabal, who finished successfully. The Iberian side came close to extending the lead in the 46th minute through an Alex Baena free-kick that hit the crossbar.

Austria came back from the break with two changes and managed to make the match more even, although without seriously troubling goalkeeper Unai Simón. Spain stuck to their strategy of moving the ball around until creating an opportunity, and it worked in the 60th minute. Cucurella played Baena in on the left, and he crossed for a precise header from Pedro Porro. The defender scored his first goal for La Furia.

In the 84th minute, Yamal had the chance to score the third goal with a shot from inside the box, but David Alaba cleared it off the line. And there was still time for more. In the 88th minute, Oyarzabal was left unmarked after a cross-field pass from Cucurella and finished into the back of the net, setting the final score.
