Spain dominates Saudi Arabia 4-0 in World Cup group stage match
Summary

Spain secured a convincing 4-0 victory over Saudi Arabia in their second Group H match of the World Cup 2026 on June 21 in Atlanta. After a disappointing draw in their first game against Cape Verde, Spain showed an aggressive offensive approach, highlighted by Lamine Yamal, who scored his first World Cup goal in just his first start. Mikel Oyarzabal contributed significantly with two goals, as Spain established a strong lead early in the match with three goals within the first 25 minutes. The second half saw a slower pace, with Spain managing to maintain their dominance while missing additional scoring opportunities, including a disallowed goal from Ferran Torres. Spain aims to build on this performance as they continue in the tournament.
