Spain vs Austria live updates: Latest as Yamal starts todayโ€™s 2026 World Cup knockout clash


22โ€™ Spain 0-0 Austria

Iโ€™m very interested in the positions that Austriaโ€™s Marcel Sabitzer is taking up.

Having watched him at Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund, Iโ€™m more accustomed to seeing him pick up central positions as either a box-to-box midfielder or a playmaker.

However, for Austria, he is playing very wide on the left and is almost hugging the touchline at times.

Moments ago, Sabitzer drifted inside and clipped a searching towards Michael Gregoritsch, but it was just over the strikerโ€™s head.

He is also attempting to help out Konrad Laimer contain Lamine Yamal, which he does so with a brilliant sliding tackle.
