Spain secured a commanding 4-0 victory over Saudi Arabia in their second group stage match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, held at the Atlanta Stadium in Georgia on June 22. Mikel Oyarzabal played a pivotal role, contributing two goals and one assist to the team's success.
Lamine Yamal opened the scoring with his debut goal in the 10th minute. Oyarzabal delivered a low cross into the box, which Yamal calmly finished by sliding in from the far post.
Oyarzabal added to the tally in the 21st minute, scoring after a corner kick. Dani Olmo's delivery was poorly cleared by the Saudi defense, allowing Aymeric Laporte to head the ball down for Oyarzabal, who pushed it into the right side of the net.
Just three minutes later, Oyarzabal scored again, completing his brace.
The fourth goal came from an own goal by Saudi Arabia. In the 49th minute, goalkeeper Mohammed Al-Owais made an initial save, but the rebound deflected off defender Hassan Al-Tambakti, resulting in an own goal.
Spain dominated the match, outshooting Saudi Arabia 22 to 3, with 8 of those shots on target compared to just 1 for Saudi Arabia.
