Spain began their 2022 World Cup campaign in dominant fashion, with a 7-0 win against Costa Rica. The game saw Ferran Torres score a brace, with one from the penalty spot, while the likes of Alvaro Morata, Marco Asensio, Gavi, Dani Olmo and Carlos Soler got onto the scoresheet.
This is only the third time that La Roja have scored five or more goals, and it shows that they are one of the favourites to progress deep into the competition.
