In yesterday’s 2022 World Cup, in addition to Japan’s wonderful upset show, Armada Spain staged a massacre, beating Costa Rica 7:0, breaking the record for the number of goals scored in a single World Cup in the team history.
Spain have undergone an important line-up change in this World Cup. More than half of the team was in the World Cup for the first time. After the match started, they aggressively attacked. Dani Olmo scored the opener in the 11th minute of the match, making the team’s 100th in the World Cup. One goal, and then Marco Asensio (21′) and Ferran Torres (31′ and 54′) fired to open the score at 4:0.
In the 75th minute of the second half, Gavi, who was 18 years and 110 days old, scored the team’s fifth goal and became the youngest goalscorer in the World Cup after world champion Pele (17 years and 249 days). In the 92nd minute of stoppage time, two more goals were added and Costa Rica were finally bloodied 7-0; Costa Rica, who were brutally beaten, did not make a single shot during the match and the ball possession rate was only 18%, which was disappointing.
