Lamine Yamal starred on his return to the starting lineup as Spain rediscovered their attacking rhythm with a commanding 4-0 victory over Saudi Arabia in their Group H FIFA World Cup 2026 clash on Sunday, while Mikel Oyarzabal answered his critics with a clinical brace.

After a frustrating 0-0 draw with Cape Verde in their opener, Spain were transformed in Atlanta with Yamal, the 18-year-old creating the chances and Oyarzabal providing the finish, and Spain were home and dry within the first 45 minutes thanks to goals from Real Sociedad striker Mikel Oyarzabal and a Marc Cucurella own goal, which rounded off an impressive performance and booked their place in the next round.
