Spain beats Saudi Arabia 3-0 in World Cup group match

Spain recovered from a goalless draw with the Green Islands by delivering a dominant 3‑0 victory over Saudi Arabia in their Group H World Cup match in Atlanta. The win was opened by teenager Lamine Yamal, who scored after a quick counter‑attack, and was sealed by two goals from forward Mikel Oyarzabal, the reigning European champion.

Yamal, returning from injury, was highlighted by manager Luis de la Fuente as a key factor for the attack, while the Saudi side relied on goalkeeper Mohammed Al Owais, who had impressed with nine saves in the previous draw against Uruguay. The result puts Spain back in contention for the group lead after their shaky start, and leaves Saudi Arabia needing points in the final round to stay alive.

Both teams entered the match with one point each, and the three‑goal margin improves Spain’s goal difference and restores confidence ahead of their next fixture.
