Inspired by Lamine Yamal, Spain strolled to a 4-0 win over Saudi Arabia in Group H on Sunday (June 21), leaving their supporters pouring out of Atlanta’s stadium in celebratory mood after a confident on field performance.

"We think Spain will reach the final and will have an incredible World Cup," fan from Madrid, Xavier Marfany, said.

Saudi fans, meanwhile, were left disappointed but largely unsurprised by the outcome.

“Feeling sad, but that was expected, to be honest. Spain is a strong team,” said Saudi supporter Ahmed Martan.

Spain advance to four points in the standings while Saudi Arabia stay on one after two games each. The other teams in the group, Cape Verde and Uruguay, meet later on Sunday in Miami.
