Spain 3-0 Saudi Arabia LIVE Score, FIFA World Cup: Oyarzabal Gets His Second Of The Day In Quick Succession

Spain have produced a blistering opening half in Atlanta, charging to a 3-0 lead over Saudi Arabia within the first 25 minutes. This marks the first time a team has netted three times in the opening quarter-hour and ten minutes of a World Cup match since Germany’s historic performance in 2014.

Spain are running riot in Atlanta! Just eight minutes after doubling their lead, La Roja have extended it to 3-0, with Mikel Oyarzabal netting his second goal of the match in the 29th minute.

The move showcased Spain's fluid attacking play: Marc Cucurella cushioned a diagonal ball perfectly into the path of Dani Olmo, who nodded it on, allowing Oyarzabal to strike once more and put the game firmly beyond reach for Saudi Arabia. It has been a blistering first half for the European champions, who are looking increasingly dominant in this Group H contest.

Spain have extended their lead to 2-0 against Saudi Arabia at the Atlanta Stadium. After an early opening goal from Lamine Yamal, the European champions continued to apply pressure, and their persistence paid off in the 21st minute through Mikel Oyarzabal.

Following a corner-kick, the ball found its way to Dani Olmo, whose flick toward the six-yard box caused panic in the Saudi defence. When the clearance attempt failed, Aymeric Laporte nodded the ball into the path of Oyarzabal, who bundled it into the net to give La Roja a commanding cushion. Spain are firmly in control as they look to secure their first three points of the tournament.

It is a busy afternoon for Mohammed Al Owais! Fresh off a standout performance against Uruguay in the opening round, the Saudi Arabia goalkeeper has been called into action once again to keep his side in the hunt.

With Spain pressing hard to extend their 1-0 lead, Mikel Oyarzabal unleashed a powerful drive heading for the bottom-left corner of the goal. Al Owais showed excellent reflexes, diving sharply to his right to make the save and deny Spain a second. La Roja continue to dominate possession as they look to build on Lamine Yamal's early 10th-minute strike.

Spain have drawn first blood in Atlanta! In the 10th minute of their critical Group H fixture, Lamine Yamal broke the deadlock to put La Roja 1-0 ahead. The goal was the result of sharp attacking play down the left flank, where Mikel Oyarzabal surged forward before delivering a precise low cross into the box. Yamal timed his run perfectly to meet the ball at the back post, sliding in to steer it home. It marks a significant moment for the teenage star, who has now opened his account at the FIFA World Cup 2026. Spain are currently dictating the tempo as they look to build on this early advantage.

Spain has shown clear attacking intent in the opening minutes as they hunt for their first victory of the tournament. Lamine Yamal, who returned to the starting lineup today, has been active on the right flank, though his latest attempt from distance sailed high over the crossbar. Luis de la Fuente’s side is dominating possession, but Saudi Arabia—having already proven their defensive resilience with a 1-1 draw against Uruguay in their opener—remains organized and disciplined at the back.

The FIFA World Cup 2026 Group H encounter between Spain and Saudi Arabia has officially kicked off at the Atlanta Stadium. Both teams are looking to secure their first victory of the tournament after drawing their opening fixtures.

Spain, currently appearing in their traditional red and navy kit, has made four changes to their starting XI, with the highly anticipated return of Lamine Yamal to the lineup. Manager Luis de la Fuente is looking to spark an attacking rhythm that was absent during their goalless draw against Cape Verde. On the other side, Saudi Arabia—buoyed by an impressive 1-1 draw against Uruguay in their first match—are employing a disciplined tactical setup to frustrate the European side.

The FIFA World Cup 2026 will be telecast live on Unite8 Sports network on television. For live streaming, one can catch the action on the Zee5 app and website.

Lamine Yamal, who came off the bench in the 71st minute against Cape Verde after recovering from a hamstring injury, significantly enhanced the team's offensive play. It appears that Yamal will once again face restrictions on Sunday, as the team is strategically planning for what they anticipate will be a series of eight games this summer.

“I feel good physically, I’m ready for whatever the boss wants,” Yamal said on Friday in a Spanish television interview.

“It’s very early, it’s unnecessary [to play 90 minutes]. I have a process of adaptation. It isn’t the moment to play a full game but I’ll play the minutes the boss wants.”
