Spanien vs Saudi Arabia

Spain delivered a commanding statement in Atlanta, dismantling Saudi Arabia 4-0 to move to the top of Group H. Teenage sensation Lamine Yamal set the tone early, becoming only the second player aged 18 or younger to open the scoring in a World Cup match, the other being a 17-year-old Pelé back in 1958. Yamal slid home at the back post in the 10th minute from a cross by Mikel Oyarzabal, who then took centre stage himself. Oyarzabal struck twice in the 23rd and 24th minutes to make it 3-0 before the half-hour was up. Hassan Altambakti added a own goal just before the break to complete the rout. No red cards, no drama, just relentless, clinical football. Oyarzabal was named player of the match after contributing to all three goals in a stunning 25-minute spell. The win is a timely boost for Spain, who had been held to a frustrating 0-0 draw by Cape Verde in their opener. They sit on four points and in control of their group destiny. Saudi Arabia, meanwhile, are left with just one point and facing an early exit.
