Ferran Torres netted twice and Marco Asensio, Dani Olmo, Gavi, Carlos Soler and Alvaro Morata were also on the scoresheet for the Euro 2020 semi-finalists in an emphatic romp.

Spain tattered Costa Rica 7- 0 on Wednesday in a brutal destruction in their Group E nature which launched their shot to lift a alternate World Cup. Avoiding the fate of titans Argentina and group rivals Germany, who lost 2- 1 to Japan before on, Luis Enrique’s fancied side sparkled at Doha’s Al Thumama Stadium, dominating possession and taking their chances mercilessly. Ferran Torres netted doubly and Marco Asensio, Dani Olmo, Gavi, Carlos Soler and Alvaro Morata were also on the scoresheet for the Euro 2020 semi-finalists in an emphatic rollick.

In the history the 2010 World Cup winners have paid the price for immorality but all three forwards Luis Enrique named netted in the first half to pay back his trust in them.

The trainer placed Asensio at false nine, adjoined by Olmo and Torres, starting with Morata and Ansu Fati on the bench.

The trainer decided to emplace Manchester City midfielder Rodri Hernandez in central defence, alongside club platoon- mate Aymeric Laporte, rightly anticipating his platoon would monopolise the ball.

It took only 11 twinkles for La Roja to open the scoring, with Gavi pecking a pass forward for Olmo to admit in the area and the RB Leipzig winger taking one sublime touch to turn and another to stroke the ball gently once Keylor Navas.

Costa Rica, who were a surprise package at the 2014 World Cup, beating Italy and Uruguay and drawing with England to eclipse their group, were sliced piecemeal again for the alternate thing 10 twinkles latterly.

Jordi Alba’s low drilled cross was rammed home by Real Madrid forward Asensio past his former platoon- mate Navas, who might have done further to keep it out.

Torres stroked home from the penalty spot after Alba was fouled by Oscar Duarte –- a soft call on a hard night for Los Ticos, who were noway in the game and failed to muster a shot at thing.

Barcelona forward Torres capitalised on further slack defending to fire the fourth history Navas beforehand in the alternate half.

Luis Enrique was suitable to take off the bouncy Pedri and Torres before the hour mark in order to rest them for Sunday’s clash with Germany, and handed teenage Barcelona left- back Alejandro Balde his debut.

The 19- time-old roared up the pitch in the figure- up to Spain’s fifth thing, with cover Morata crossing for Gavi to drill home with aplomb.

Kopa jewel winner Gavi came the third youthful goal scorer at a World Cup at 18 times and 110 days old, after Mexico’s Manuel Rosas and record holder Pele.

Soler and Morata also got in on the act with cessation- time strikes to pile farther misery on Costa Rica and help Spain flex their muscles in a perfect opening match in Qatar.

Teen gift Gavi is set for global stardom after he came the youthful FIFA World Cup arranger since Pele in Spain’s 7- 0 thrashing of Costa Rica on Wednesday, his trainer Luis Enrique said. Gavi scored Spain’s fifth thing with a first- time finish from Alvaro Morata’s cross that crashed in off the inside of the post to come the third youthful arranger in the event’s history at 18 times and 110 days.” It’s the stylish of my dreams, I noway imagined this,” said Gavi.” I am pleased to be achieving this.”

It limited a man- of- the- match display from the Barcelona youth product who linked brilliantly in midfield with fellow Camp Nou- grounded teenager Pedri, 19.

And Luis Enrique is sure he has on his hands a player who’ll come one of the stylish in the world.

” He is a unique player, a veritably different player because. he is 18 times old but he has the personality of an educated player,” he said.

” We are happy to have him in the platoon and we suppose he is going to be one of the stars of world football.”

” I hope he’ll go and play every time more and try to be aggressive with the ball and without the ball,” said Luis Enrique, who added that Gavi” needs only a bit of poise and calm at times.”

Gavi was the pick of a bunch of supremely blessed youthful players who contributed to a stunning performance in which Spain didn’t give up a single corner or shot on thing while enjoying further than 80 percent possession.

He linked up particularly well with Pedri, who handed the pass for the opening thing by Dani Olmo.

” I am veritably happy to win it and pleased to be MVP. We played a great game, well done everyone,” said Gavi.

” Pedri and I are veritably good musketeers off the pitch and on the pitch there isn’t important to say, he is a spectacular player and it’s veritably easy to play alongside him.” Read More FIFA News…
