Spain Crush Saudi Arabia 4-0 to Move Closer to World Cup Knockout Stage

Center
Translated & summarized from Mako by baba
The story · English

Spain beat Saudi Arabia 4-0 on Sunday, earning their first win of the tournament after a disappointing 0-0 draw with Cape Verde in the opening round. The result practically secures La Roja’s place in the next stage.

If Spain win their final group match, they will finish first in the group for certain, and even a draw could be enough. The team also used the game to show much sharper attacking form than in their opener.

The match began perfectly for Spain. In the 10th minute, teenager Lamine Yamal put them ahead after being set up by Mikel Oyarzabal. Eleven minutes later, Yamal added a second goal, this time from an assist by Aymeric Laporte.

Oyarzabal then completed a rapid first-half brace, making it 3-0 for Spain. The article says Oyarzabal and Yamal led the victory, which was Spain’s first win of the 2026 World Cup.
