In their first match of the FIFA World Cup at the Al Thumama Stadium, dominant Spain demolished Costa Rica 7-0, setting a competition record.
Spain showed off their mastery of passing and their ruthless side by scoring seven goals against the helpless Costa Rica in their World Cup 2022 opening match.
Olmo immediately gave Spain the upper hand, and they remained in charge of the proceedings.
Olmo’s early goal broke the scoreless game, as Luis Enrique’s team aggressively surged forward and controlled the ball after that.
They exerted near-absurd levels of control over the game, allowing the Costa Ricans to muster just one kick and no shots on goal.

Due to a lot of young stars making an impact for La Roja, the stage has been set for a historic game with Germany this weekend.
With the comfort provided by this world-record performance, Spain may now confront Hansi Flick’s struggling Germans.
The Japan team, which only earlier today accomplished one of their nation’s greatest World Cup victories ever, will surely be looking forward to playing a bewildered Costa Rican team.
The World Cup’s most dominant and exceptional performance to date belongs to Luis Enrique’s squad as they look set to face Germany.
Spain’s 7-0 victory over Costa Rica is their best World Cup performance ever.
