Unlike Germany, which was surprised 2:1 by Japan, Spain danced in the opening round of the fifth round and defeated the weak Costa Rica 7:0.

The overwhelming display of "La Roja" caused the local media to go out of their way and develop expectations for the continuation of the World Cup.

"Look at how Spain got into this game, a huge game of hers, with this Spain everything is possible", exulted in "Marka".

The Spanish website also complimented the younger Pedri ("He has presence, he is developing into a leader") and commented sarcastically on the only time he lost a ball: "Pedri made a bad pass. If one day you scratch the car in the parking lot or fail the test, don't get depressed. Remember Even the greatest fail sometimes."

AS announced that "tiki taka is back, Spain gave a concert", and in "Mundo Deportivo" they went out of their way to "Spain's festival" and defined the display as "total control".

The huge victory brought back memories for the Spaniards of the golden generation that won three consecutive tournaments.

BS compared the display against Costa Rica to the game of that team that made the whole country fall in love with it: "14 years ago there was the game that made us all fall in love. We beat Russia 0:3 in the semi-finals of Euro 2008, it was the beginning of everything that came after then".

the numbers

* Dani Olmo's first goal was the 100th goal of the Spanish team in the history of the World Cup.

In doing so, it became the sixth team to enter the prestigious list.

* This is the second time in history that Spain scores three goals in the first half at the World Cup.

The first time was against Brazil in 1934.

* At 18 years and 110 days, Gabi became the youngest World Cup scorer since Pele in 1958.

The midfielder is also Spain's youngest ever World Cup scorer.

* This is the second time in his career that Keylor Navas has scored more than four goals.

Even then it was 7:0, when in 2013 his then team Levante was defeated by Barcelona.

By the way, even then Sergio Busquets played for the winning team.

* This is the highest victory of the Spanish team ever in the World Cup.

The previous record: 1:6 over Bulgaria in 1998.

* Costa Rica is the second in the history of the World Cup not to kick even once on goal.

The first team to do so was also Costa Rica, against Brazil in 1990.
