AI GeneratedSpain dominated Saudi Arabia with a 4-0 victory in their second Group H match. After a slow start to the tournament, Spain displayed the creativity and clinical finishing they are known for, led by the standout debut performance of 18-year-old Lamine Yamal and goals from Mikel Oyarzabal.
Spain and Saudi Arabia in Group H,
a group that is completely wide open.
All four teams sit on a single point.
And today we find out whether Spain can finally rediscover their best
or whether Saudi Arabia take inspiration from Cabo Verde's heroics
and plunge La Roca into even deeper, almost unthinkable struggle
going into the final game of the group.
Here's Pedro Porro, a tough season with Spurs in the Premier League.
Lamine Yamal is going to be kept alive here and taken by Mohamed Al-Owais.
Can you talk about what makes a player special?
At 18 years old, full of stars on the Spanish side,
yet those players quickly want to get it at the feet of Lamine Yamal
and watch him go to work.
Everybody was trying to get an answer out
of Luis de la Fuente yesterday.
Is he ready? How long is he going to play?
Here they come again, Lamine Yamal!
There is his moment, Cup.
This is his stage,
and he's made the impact that Spain
were craving in the first game.
Get used to hearing this. Lamine Yamal has scored in the World Cup.
Now this is a wonderful ball played across from Moyato Ball,
and Lamine Yamal sells out to get to the back post.
Arrives at the right time,
like he's arrived on the biggest stage in this world.
Calmly and confidently finishes it, and the reaction says it all.
That man, he is a star.
It's been given away here.
Lamine Yamal on to it quickly.
And Pedri fires it over as it squirmed loose.
Great goalkeeping from Al-Owais.
He has to commit to this.
Baena is coming in at full force.
Al-Owais does everything to come out, make himself as big as possible.
What an important save that is.
Oh, and Alois getting down well.
They just simply can't get out here, Saudi Arabia.
This is the Spain that everybody anticipated
in seeing in match day one.
We're finally seeing it.
Arrived to the party a little bit late, fashionably late, if you will.
Maybe took a little bit of a siesta in the first match,
but that has been full go from Spain from the get-go.
So he has a man again.
Here he goes.
All on his own.
Oh, the touch just allowed the challenge to come in.
This recovery run was just so good.
It's fortuitous the way it flexed into the off the ball.
And then the ability to get back from Al-Atami is so, so important.
What a tackle.
The timeliness is perfection.
Corner for Spain.
Oyazabal with the flick.
Dani Olmo back in.
Oh, it's bouncing around in there.
That was Laporte.
Oh, and they're going to score.
It is Oyazabal, whose goals were crucial in qualifying,
whose goals may be the first of many in this World Cup.
But Mikel Oyazabal, no daylight.
Spain have reacted first
and they've reacted fastest throughout the course of this match.
That's bouncing around, just the desire to get there,
the inability to get into a position to affect the play.
Oyazabal, that's a poacher's finish and an important one for Spain.
He is flying
for his country, 2-0,
here is Oyazabal.
Rodri, they come again, Spain,
Lamine Yamal, Alex Baena,
sees the gap, finds Pedro Porro.
Porro hanging up, Koundé around the back,
there's Dani Olmo, they're in for another one!
Al is in for another one! Rampant!
Spain here in Atlanta, and he could barely get
in the game in the first game against Cabo Verde.
Now he's got two goals in the blink of an eye.
There was a lack of creativity in Matchday 1 for Spain.
Complete opposite in this match.
Baena on one side, Lamine Yamal on the other.
Baena's the one that starts it.
He's the one that gets everybody from Saudi on the back foot.
And then this falls fortuitously.
off the ball at the back post.
Dani Olmo again showing his ability to arrive in the box.
Caused a bit of confusion.
And every question that Spain had coming into Matchday 2
has been firmly answered inside the first 24 minutes.
Riyadh Al, the first pass wasn't quite on, Owen, stopping the corner,
but it might work out here, oh my goodness, Riyadh Al, off the frame
of the goal, now that would have been some way to get your hat-trick.
Look at this beautiful outside the left foot.
Oh, my goodness.
That's confidence personified when we got the ball.
Inventive, nearly ingenious.
And that would have sent this vibrant Spanish crowd into raptures
if we got the ball, would have secured
his hat-trick with that audacious attempt.
Lamine Yamal, Pedro Porro making the move to his right.
Lamine Yamal, parried back out towards Baena.
Anticipation let him down in the end.
Pedri for Rodri.
Let him cut inside again.
He's always looking for that curler, isn't he?
You know he's looking for it.
I know he's looking for it.
Saudi Arabia, defenders know he's looking for it,
but Lamine Yamal still has the ability to cut inside
and just find the ability, the half-step that he needs
to get the effort towards goal.
Holloway was all over this previous one before the one.
Lamine Yamal sends wayward,
but it has been so much confidence from the Spanish side.
But that is that for the first 45 minutes,
which has been all about Spain,
and the crowd have been entertained seeing the Spain
that they were expecting on Game 1,
certainly here on Game 2.
With the introduction of Lamine Yamal,
straight into it on his World Cup debut start.
A score over Riyadh Al with a couple of goals as well.
Saudi Arabia have just not been able to deal with Spain.
You feared when it did go 3-0 it could have been worse.
But it is just the three at half time.
Kipanen and Dani Olmo on the edge of the area as well.
And the first half picking him out.
And it's going to go in.
Extraordinary with the swing.
Spain have four.
will go down as an own goal, and if any goal is to sum up
the way things are going for Saudi Arabia, it is that one.
It's just so unfortunate for Saudi.
Tembokti, he's the unfortunate one
that'll get credited with the own goal.
He'll know nothing about it.
He's trying to stand in the way of it,
and it's just the deflected effort off the goalkeeper's save.
What a ball.
It's ready to go, and it all lies at the stop.
That was very notorious.
The pass to find Pedro Porro was absolutely on point.
That was just a sublime entry pass that breaks both
the midfield line and the backfield
line of Saudi Arabia.
I believe it was Cubarsí with just an inch perfect ball through.
Koukoura when he gets there,
across it goes.
Able to be forced in,
Pedro Porro
and it's going
to be a tap in for Spain,
Ferran Torres.
I think this is a close one you know,
so we will wait to see whether this does stand.
After review, the number 7 of Spain has the offside position.
And so it will be another goal to add
to the tally for Spain this afternoon.
But that's it, so Spain have liftoff of this World Cup.
You can see a couple of goals from Mikel Oyarzabal in the first half.
Lamine Yamal announcing his name at this World Cup.
An own goal in the second half as well.
Compelling Saudi Arabia to this heavy defeat.
But Spain more like it.
And winners in Atlanta.
And winners for the first time at this World Cup by four goals to nil.
