Lamine Yamal wasted no time making his mark on the World Cup stage, scoring his first goal at the tournament within ten minutes of his opening start as Spain swept aside Saudi Arabia.

The teenage sensation, handed his first World Cup start, needed barely a quarter of an hour to announce himself on football's grandest occasion — a moment that underlined just how quickly the young forward has become indispensable to the Spanish setup.

Spain's commanding performance sent a clear message to the rest of the competition, with Yamal's early strike setting the tone for a dominant display that left Saudi Arabia with little to offer in response.
