How did Spain bounce back from their previous disappointing result?

Question

Accepted Answer

Spain bounced back by beating Saudi Arabia 4-0 after a goalless draw with Cape Verde
Spain bounced back by responding to their previous 0-0 draw with Cape Verde in their opening World Cup game with a dominant 4-0 win over Saudi Arabia. Lamine Yamal returned to the starting lineup for the first time in two months after recovering from a hamstring problem and scored in the 10th minute as Spain took control early.
Yamal returned to the starting XI and scored after 10 minutes
Yamal, 18, made his goalscoring return for Spain and opened the scoring just 10 minutes into the Group H match in Atlanta. He was making his first start in two months following a hamstring recovery, and his early goal helped set the tone for Spain’s “bounce back” after the previous blank against Cape Verde.
Spain built a 3-0 lead by 24 minutes
After Yamal’s opening strike, Mikel Oyarzabal scored twice in three minutes to put Spain 3-0 up after 24 minutes. The rapid scoring spree came as Spain launched an early onslaught that left Saudi Arabia “reeling” during the first portion of the game.
A fourth goal sealed the rout by the 49th minute
Spain added their fourth goal on 49 minutes when Marc Cucurella’s shot was saved by Saudi goalkeeper Mohammed al-Owais and then deflected into the net off defender Hassan al-Tambakti. The sequence extended Spain’s lead and completed the 4-0 drubbing.
Spain said they corrected things from the last game while aiming for the final
Spain coach Luis De la Fuente said they needed to “recover good feelings” and “correct a few things from the last game,” while continuing to improve toward reaching the final on July 19. The win also left Spain on top of Group H with four points after two matches.
