They've woken up! Spain steamroll on and Yamal matches Pelé
After a disappointing World Cup debut, Spain started the match against Saudi Arabia with their foot on the gas.
The Europeans scored three goals in less than 24 minutes, building a great lead even before the first hydration break of the match.
Lamine Yamal started the clash among the starters and quickly showed what he was capable of, scoring the first World Cup goal of his career to make it 1-0.
He became only the second player aged 18 or younger to open the scoring in a World Cup match.
The first? None other than King Pelé, who achieved the feat in the quarterfinals of the 1958 edition, against Wales, at 17 years old.
Yamal's birthday is next July 13, when he will turn 19.
Mikel Oyarzabal scored the other two goals in the "first quarter" against Saudi Arabia.
In the opening round of the group, Spain and Saudi Arabia drew with Cape Verde and Uruguay, respectively.
