The 19-year-old was joined on the scoresheet by Marc Pubill and Nico Williams as they extended their unbeaten run to 40 matches, including June’s final triumph over Argentina in the US. Lamine Yamal had opened the scoring within two minutes against England in Saturday’s Wembley win and took just 75 seconds to do so against Slaven Bilic’s side in Andalusia.

The teenager’s left-footed finish took his tally of international goals to nine in 36 appearances. Just before the half-hour mark, the visitors equalised through Dion Beljo’s header as the 6ft 4in attacker headed home from an Ivan Perisic cross.

Two minutes later the hosts restored their lead as Pubill fired home a header from a pinpoint Lamine Yamal cross before provider turned scorer again on 63 minutes, beating Barcelona teammate and Croatia goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic at his near post. With fewer than two minutes to play Athletic Bilbao’s Williams notched up a fourth for Spain with a crisp dribble and finish.

Lamine Yamal’s contribution strengthened his case for the Ballon d’Or, with voting having closed on Monday and the winner announced on 26 October. Spain’s captain, Rodri, showed off the World Cup trophy before kick-off at the packed Estadio Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán, being handed it by Sevilla legend Jesus Navas, a winner with Spain in 2010.

Broader economic and regulatory ramifications are projected to ripple across interconnected regional ecosystems. Market analysts note that supply chains, capital allocations, and policy frameworks must swiftly assimilate these verified updates to insulate against systemic bottlenecks.
