Donis Urges Realism After Saudi’s 4-0 Defeat to Spain
Saudi Arabia coach Georgios Donis defended his players following a heavy 4-0 loss to Spain in their second Group H match at the 2026 World Cup. Donis admitted his side struggled defensively and said the early goal by Lamine Yamal in the 10th minute affected the team’s confidence. He urged critics to be realistic, noting that other matches in this tournament have also ended in wide scorelines. With one point from two games, Saudi Arabia face a must-win clash against Cape Verde in Houston. Donis insists his squad will accept criticism but expects fair assessment as they prepare for their final group fixture.
