Summary
Spain’s Luis de la Fuente turned his 65th birthday into a legendary moment as his team obliterated Saudi Arabia 4-0 in a World Cup Group H thriller, rewriting their tournament narrative with a blistering first-half onslaught. Teen phenom Lamine Yamal stunned the world by scoring the opening goal — the youngest World Cup scorer since Pelé — and Mikel Oyarzabal added two more in the first 30 minutes. With a bold 4-2-3-1 formation and fresh faces like Pedro Porro, Alex Baena, and Dani Olmo, Spain dominated possession (70%) and shots (17), sealing the win with an own goal. The emphatic victory not only silenced doubters but delivered exactly what the coach wanted: a confident, attacking Spain ready to roar back into contention.
