Spain’s World Cup stats: Oyarzabal tops scoring with 5 goals as La Roja eye first title in 16 years

Mikel Oyarzabal sits atop Spain’s scoring charts with five goals, Rodri’s pass accuracy leads the team’s passing metrics, and Lamine Yamal has clocked the highest sprint speed among Spanish players in the tournament.

Oyarzabal’s five-goal haul ties a Spanish record

Oyarzabal’s tournament has been nothing short of historic. His five goals match the Spanish World Cup record previously held by Emilio Butragueño, who set the mark in 1986, and David Villa, who equaled it during Spain’s title-winning campaign in 2010.

The Real Sociedad forward put away braces in group-stage and knockout wins over Saudi Arabia (4-0) and Austria (3-0), establishing himself as the focal point of Spain’s attack.

Spain have scored 13 goals in total heading into the final. That means Oyarzabal has been directly responsible for roughly 38% of the team’s output.

Lamine Yamal has also been a key contributor, scoring at least one goal and assisting Oyarzabal on multiple occasions.

Rodri’s passing numbers are absurd

The midfielder recorded somewhere between 629 and 655 accurate passes at a completion rate of approximately 92-94%. Those numbers don’t just lead Spain. They put him in rarefied air for any World Cup midfielder in recent memory.
