This was La Roja’s first win in the knockout phase of the FIFA World Cup finals since beating Netherlands in the 2010 Final in Johannesburg, South Africa. . Pau Cubarsí and Lamine Yamal had now become the first pair of teenagers to start a game in the knockout phase of FIFA World Cup tournament since Pelé and Altafini for Brazil against Wales in Gothenburg, Sweden in 1958.

Comments:

Austria had progressed beyond the initial group stage at a FIFA World Cup tournament for the first time since 1982 when it was held in Spain. . This was the first knockout game that Das Team had played at a FIFA World Cup finals since their 3rd place play-off victory against Uruguay in Zurich, Switzerland on 3 July 1954. . They now remained without a win against a fellow UEFA nation at a FIFA World Cup tournament since a 3-2 second group stage victory against Germany at Cordoba, Argentina in 1978. They have lost six of the seven such games they had played since.
