Spanish Teen Duo Match Pele as Nigeria’s Alaba and Chukwuemeka on Losing Side in 3-0 Win Over Austria

Spanish Teen Duo Match Pele as Nigeria’s Alaba and Chukwuemeka on Losing Side in 3-0 Win Over Austria

Spain secured a place in the World Cup quarter-finals with a commanding 3-0 victory over Austria. Teenagers Lamine Yamal and Pau Cubarsi became the first pair since Pele in 1958 to start a knockout match, though goals from Mikel Oyarzabal and Pedro Porro ultimately decided the game. Nigerian-born stars David Alaba and Cahney Chukwuemeka were on the losing side as Austria bowed out. Spain will now face either Portugal or Croatia in the last eight.

It's odd that Spain needed a historic teen duo start but still only scored after experienced players stepped up.

You mean the young pair couldn't find the net until the older pros warmed up?

I'm not convinced this duo alone signals Spain's future depth when veterans like Oyarzabal did the scoring again.
