Spain defeats Saudi Arabia 4-0 in World Cup group stage

Spain restored confidence in its World Cup campaign with a 4-0 victory over Saudi Arabia in Atlanta. Coach Luis de la Fuente made four lineup changes after a shaky opening match, and the team dominated from the start with high press and wing play. Lamine Yamal, at 18 years and 434 days, became the second‑youngest Spanish scorer at a World Cup, netting the opener from a Mikel Oyarzabal cross. Oyarzabal then added a quick double, completing a brace within three minutes. A third‑minute own goal by Saudi defender Hassan Altambakti made it 4-0. The win puts Spain in a strong position ahead of its next group game against Uruguay on June 26. The match attracted 68,239 fans at the stadium in Atlanta, United States.
