Rashid Rahimov praised Mikel Oyarzabal, who performed brilliantly in Spain's victory over Saudi Arabia at the 2026 World Cup.
Football coach Rashid Rahimov gave a positive assessment of the game of Spanish national team midfielder, Mikel Oyarzabal, at the 2026 World Cup. On Sunday, June 21, the Spanish team achieved a 4-0 victory over Saudi Arabia in the group H match. Oyarzabal scored two goals and provided one assist in the first half. "We all know the pressure that the Spanish national team faces in its home country and the expectations that exist from the Spanish fans. Everyone hopes that the national team can reach the final and win the World Cup. Spain has a good squad and is showing an excellent game. I will definitely highlight Oyarzabal and the way he creates goal opportunities. Mikel has extraordinary peripheral vision. He is quick to assess the situation before sending a pass and clearly sees the position of his teammates," said Rahimov in the program "All in the Match!" on "Match TV". On June 26, the Spanish team will complete the group phase with a match against Uruguay. The 2026 World Cup takes place from June 11 to July 19 in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
