Spain beats Saudi Arabia 4-0 in World Cup group match in Atlanta

Spain defeated Saudi Arabia 4-0 in the second Group H match of the FIFA World Cup at the Mercedes‑Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. Lamine Yamal opened the scoring in the 10th minute, becoming the youngest Spanish player to net at a World Cup, and later said, “At the other World Cup I was still in school.” Mikel Oyarzabal added two goals before halftime, while a Saudi own‑goal in the second half completed the tally.

The win followed Spain’s 0‑0 draw with Cape Verde in their opening game and puts the Iberians in a strong position to advance from the group, while Saudi Arabia faces an uphill battle to qualify for the knockout stage.
