Spain Recovers From Cape verde's Shock, Defeats Saudi Arabia in Second World Cup Game

Spain recovered from a frustrating 0-0 opening game with Cape Verde, defeating Saudi Arabia in the second game at the Atlanta Stadium in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

La Roja displayed an entirely different level of energy, pace, and directness last night. Lamine Yamal’s historic record breaking opener put Spain on victory path. Mikel Oyarzabal’s clinical double consolidated the victory over Saudi Arabia for Spain. This was the statement win Spain desperately needed.
