Spain Thrashes Croatia 4:1 as Lamine Yamal Shines in Seville
Spain cruised to a 4:1 victory over Croatia in Seville, led by a brilliant brace from young star Lamine Yamal, who opened the scoring after just 70 seconds.
Spain needed just 70 seconds to turn the stadium in Seville into a massive celebration on Tuesday. Playing their first home match with a second star on their shirt, the world champions stormed past Croatia en route to a 4:1 victory, with Lamine Yamal scoring the opener on his way to a brace.
Before Croatia even managed to touch the ball, Spain had already found the back of the net. The sequence involved no less than 25 passes, ending with a ball to Yamal and a one-touch finish by the young star that sent the crowd into a frenzy. Marca described the moment as one that turned the Seville stadium into a madhouse in just 70 seconds.
This was Yamal's ninth goal for the Spanish national team, and the second time in his international career that he has scored in two consecutive matches. He was substituted in the 68th minute to a massive standing ovation from the crowd after another stellar performance.
