Pedro Porro scores on debut! Ex-Sporting heads in v Austria | OneFootball

On Thursday, in Los Angeles, Spain defeated Austria 3-0 in the World Cup round of 32 and qualified for the round of 16.  Their next opponents 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, 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 hit 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 stuck to their strategy of exchanging passes until creating an opportunity, which worked in the 60th minute. Cucurella played Baena in down the left, who 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 slotted it into the back of the net, sealing the final result.
