Spain routs Saudi Arabia 4-0 to secure first World Cup win
Spain beat Saudi Arabia 4-0 on Sunday to earn its first victory in the tournament after a disappointing 0-0 draw with Cape Verde in the opening round. The result leaves La Roja effectively through to the next stage, and if they win the final group match they will finish first in the group automatically. Even a draw could be enough.
The match began strongly for Spain. Teenage talent Lamine Yamal opened the scoring in the 10th minute after being set up by Mikel Oyarzabal. Eleven minutes later, Yamal turned provider, assisting a goal by Aymeric Laporte. Soon after, Oyarzabal completed a quick brace to make it 3-0.
Spain later added a fourth goal to complete the win and underline its dominance. The article did not specify the scorer of the final goal, but the scoreline was enough to make the team’s path to the knockout stage essentially certain.
