⚔️ Match background: A must-win game

· 10th minute: Yamal breaks the deadlock. Oyarzabal crosses a low ball from the left, Yamal slides in to score, earning his first World Cup goal.
· 21st minute: Oyarzabal extends the lead. He scores from a scramble in front of the goal caused by a corner kick.
· 23rd minute: Oyarzabal scores twice in 3 minutes. Pedri crosses, and after Kukurela and Ormo redirect, Oyarzabal taps in to score.

🛡️ Second half: Adding the finishing touch, ending the game

· 49th minute: Saudi defender Hassan Tambahti scores an own goal. After Kukurela's acrobatic shot was saved, it deflected off Tambahti into the net.
· Ending the game: With a large lead, Spain substituted Yamal and Oyarzabal at the 46th minute. Ferran Torres's goal in stoppage time was disallowed after VAR review.

📊 Key stats: A comprehensive domination

· Possession: Spain 72% vs Saudi Arabia 28%.
· Shots/Shots on target: Spain 27 shots with 7 on target, 17 shots and 5 on target in the first half alone.

💎 Summary

This match was a perfect response from Spain when facing a must-win situation. They not only regained the attacking rhythm missing in the first round, but Yamal's breakthroughs and Oyarzabal's finishing also stood out.

However, Saudi Arabia exposed a critical weakness in their backline's ball distribution ability, and their overly aggressive approach in attack gave Spain too many opportunities. This big win not only put Spain back on track but also largely cleared the obstacles to their group qualification.
