  • Spain have conceded 2 goals in 5 games.

Austria left it late to secure their place in the round of 32 after settling for a share of the spoils in their final Group J match against Algeria last weekend, drawing 3-3.  

Das Team had 40% possession and 11 shots in the match, with four attempts on target.
