Lamine Yamal was instrumental in Spain's 4-1 victory over Croatia in the Nations League on Tuesday, scoring two goals and providing an assist. This match marked Spain's first home game since their World Cup triumph.
The 19-year-old's performance, which included opening the scoring within 75 seconds, contributed to Spain extending their unbeaten streak to 40 matches. Marc Pubill and Nico Williams also found the net for Spain.
Croatia's Dion Beljo equalised before the half-hour mark, but Spain quickly restored their lead through Pubill. Yamal then scored his second goal, beating Barcelona teammate and Croatia goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic, before Williams added a fourth for Spain.
Spain's captain, Rodri, showcased the World Cup trophy before kick-off at the Estadio Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán. Yamal expressed excitement about bringing the cup home and winning the game.
