Lamine Yamal drove Spain to a 4-1 victory over Croatia in Seville with two goals and one assist. According to UEFA’s official round-up, he scored inside two minutes, then created Marc Pubill’s header after Croatia equalised. His second came from Pedri’s through ball and a near-post finish.

Three actions, three different solutions

The opening goal came from early recognition, the assist from an accurate delivery and the second finish from a run in behind. That variety is the central message of the 4-1 scoreline: Yamal decided the game both as a finisher and as a creator. Nico Williams completed Spain’s victory in the 89th minute.
