Spain delivered a commanding 4-0 victory over Saudi Arabia in their second group stage match at the World Cup, setting a remarkable record never before achieved in the tournament’s history.
According to the statistical portal Opta, Spain became the first national team ever to feature two players aged 18 or younger scoring goals in World Cup matches. Gavi opened his account against Costa Rica in 2022 at 18 years and 110 days old, while Lamin Yamal found the net in the recent clash with Saudi Arabia at 18 years and 343 days.
In the final group stage fixture, Spain will face Uruguay, where a draw will be enough for La Roja to advance to the knockout rounds.
