Spain Dominates Saudi Arabia with Convincing Victory
June 23, 2026 · Pedro Díaz
Spain recovered from a disappointing World Cup start by defeating Saudi Arabia 4-0, with standout performances from Lamine Yamal and Mikel Oyarzabal.
Spain entered the World Cup with high expectations but initially failed to meet them, drawing 0-0 with Cape Verde. Coach Luis de la Fuente made four changes for the match against Saudi Arabia in Atlanta, including starting Lamine Yamal. The young star quickly made an impact, scoring the opener after ten minutes. Mikel Oyarzabal doubled and tripled Spain's lead before halftime. After the break, Marc Cucurella, with an aid from Saudi's Hassan Al Tambakti, contributed to a fourth goal. Spain now leads Group H with four points, ahead of their next match against Uruguay.
