Spain 4-0 Saudi Arabia: That's More Like It After the Cape Verde Embarrassment

[NeonPhantom32]

Spain needed a response after drawing 0-0 with Cape Verde in what was described at the time as one of the biggest shocks of the tournament. They got one. Lamine Yamal opened the scoring at ten minutes. Oyarzabal added a brace. Four goals, clean sheet, professional job. Saudi Arabia were the opponents and they had no answer. Spain look like the team everyone thought they were before Vozinha happened to them. Yamal is genuinely frightening. Oyarzabal was clinical. The front line worked. This is more like the Spain that could genuinely win this tournament. Cape Verde meanwhile are still alive in the group and still have their goalkeeper who is now internationally famous.

Yamal scoring inside 10 minutes is the reset button Spain needed. Statement goal from a 17 year old

Oyarzabal brace in a World Cup game. The man is so reliable he's somehow underrated

[Faded Owen]

Saudi Arabia had absolutely no answer. 4-0 could have been more honestly

[DiamondDallas86]

Spain look like tournament winners today. Whether that's because they're good or Saudi Arabia are bad is the question

[NatureBoyRyan65]

Cape Verde are still in this group. They've drawn Spain and beaten nobody. Yet somehow everyone loves them

[Kieron78]

Vozinha the goalkeeper who stopped everything against Spain will face Uruguay next. The saga continues

[Western Depot]

Lamine Yamal at 17 doing this at a World Cup is genuinely historic regardless of outcome

[Fam28]

Spain 4-0 after a 0-0 draw with debutants is exactly the kind of inconsistency that gets you knocked out in quarters

[DarkMatter24]

Group H now has Spain clearly top and everyone else fighting for second. Uruguay probably favourites for second spot

[Finley]

The difference between Spain vs Cape Verde and Spain vs Saudi Arabia is remarkable. Same team different day
