Oyarzabal: Spain's Quiet World Cup Star

Published July 6, 2026 · Updated July 6, 2026 · The Guardian

Spain's 29-year-old forward Mikel Oyarzabal, who typically shuns the spotlight, has been thrust into the conversation after scoring his fourth World Cup goal against Austria.

The usually attention-averse forward scored his second goal against Austria, bringing his tournament tally to four. Cameras captured his passionate celebration and his mother Dorleta's presence in the stands, where she was hiding their three-year-old grandson Keyne.

Borja Iglesias joked that while she denied TV cameras the perfect shot, she gave them two goals that day, highlighting Oyarzabal's growing importance in Spain's World Cup campaign. sportnewz.click
