Fires off two shots
Oyarzabal registered two shots (one on goal) and two chances created in Monday's 1-0 win against Portugal.
Analysis: Oyarzabal played nearly the full match for Spain at forward, only leaving the field late into stoppage time as Borja Iglesias entered. Oyarzabal would end up recording two shots and a few chances created, nearly scoring once but driving the ball wide of the post. He remains the team's top scorer at the World Cup, with his four goals besting anyone else on the team by three.
Scores twice in Round of 32 win
Oyarzabal scored two goals to go with six shots (four on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Thursday's 3-0 victory over Austria.
Analysis: Oyarzabal doesn't participate much in the build-up, but the Real Sociedad striker is perfect for this role as the lone striker in Luis De La Fuente's pass-heavy tactical scheme. Oyarzabal was heavily criticized for not getting involved too much in the draw against Cape Verde, but he's responded with four goals in his last three World Cup appearances. Look for Oyarzabal to continue leading the line for Spain in the latter stages of the World Cup, especially if he remains as effective as he's been lately.
