Spain Crush Saudi Arabia 4-0 to Revive World Cup Campaign

Spain returned to winning ways at the 2026 FIFA World Cup with a commanding 4-0 victory over Saudi Arabia, producing a dominant performance after their opening setback.

The pre-tournament favourites, who were held to a disappointing goalless draw by Cape Verde in their first group game, started brightly as Lamine Yamal opened the scoring in just the 10th minute.

Mikel Oyarzabal then took control of the contest, netting a first-half brace to put Spain firmly in command before Hassan Al Tambakti added to Saudi Arabia’s misery with an unfortunate own goal that completed the rout.
