Spain is on a winning streak at the 2026 World Cup. Spain defeated Saudi Arabia 4-0 in Atlanta. After defeating Saudi Arabia on Sunday, Spain has climbed to the top of Group H with 4 points.
Spain, who have been criticized for their goalless draw with Cape Verde, who are playing in their first World Cup, took the lead in the 10th minute against Saudi Arabia. Lamine Yamal, who came on the field in the second half against Cape Verde, came on as a playing 11 and scored Spain's first goal.
Spain's forward Mikel Oyarzbal will never forget the match against Cape Verde. He did not touch the ball once in the first 30 minutes of the match. Opta, which keeps statistics, has said that no player has touched the ball for half an hour since 1966.
Oyarzbal is the one who scored the winning goal against England in the Euro 2024 final. With two goals scored by Oyarzbal, Spain was 3-0 ahead against Saudi Arabia at half-time. Oyarzbal, who provided the pass for Yamal's first goal, was substituted after the first half.
Spain scored its fourth goal in the fourth minute after the break. Spain's Marc Cucurella's shot was saved by Saudi Arabia goalkeeper Mohammed Al Owais. But the ball hit his body and hit the foot of defender Hassan Al Tambaqi, resulting in an own goal. Saudi Arabia drew 1-1 with Uruguay in their first match.
