June 23, 2026 · Fernando Pérez
Spain bounced back from a disappointing draw against Cape Verde to dominate Saudi Arabia in their second group match, with Mikel Oyarzabal shining with two goals and an assist.
After a goalless draw against Cape Verde left them mocked, Spain's national team has responded emphatically in their World Cup campaign. La Furia Roja demonstrated their prowess in their second group match against Saudi Arabia, reasserting themselves as one of the tournament's favorites. The match kicked off with Yamal opening the scoring, setting the tone for Spain's dominant performance. Mikel Oyarzabal emerged as a standout player, contributing significantly with two goals and an assist. His involvement in three goals during this match was a stark contrast to his performance in the opener, where he had minimal impact. Marc Cucurella's fierce shot led to an own goal by Saudi's Hassan Al-Tambakti early in the second half, further solidifying Spain's commanding lead. This resounding victory serves as a warning to other top nations not to underestimate Spain in this World Cup.
