Lamine Yamal has rewritten Spain's football history. The 18-year-old scored his first World Cup goal during a match on Monday, making him the youngest player ever to find the net for Spain at the tournament.
Record in the making
Yamal's goal came in the group-stage clash. He beat Spain's previous record held by a veteran scorer, though the exact margin remains under review. The teenager's strike helped Spain secure a crucial result in their campaign.
Born in 2006, Yamal has risen rapidly through Spain's youth ranks. His debut for the senior side came earlier this year, and he has already become a regular in the squad. Monday's goal cements his place as one of the tournament's breakout stars.
Spain still has two group games remaining. Yamal will likely start in both, aiming to add to his tally. The team faces a tough test against a strong opponent later this week.
For now, the focus is on the next match. Yamal and his teammates will train Tuesday before traveling to the stadium. A win would put Spain in a strong position to advance to the knockout rounds.
