Pedro Porro scores on debut! Ex-Sporting nods in v Austria (video) | OneFootball

This Thursday, in Los Angeles, Spain beat 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 game’s first one, right in the opening minute, 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 struck the crossbar.

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

In the 84th minute, Yamal had the chance to score the third goal with a shot from inside the box, and David Alaba cleared it off the line. And there was still time for more. In the 88th minute, Oyarzabal found space after a cross-field pass from Cucurella and slotted home, setting the final score.
