Spain vs Costa Rica LIVE Score, Spain 7-0 Costa Rica: A match of contrasting records

 

The Spanish team full of young heavyweights pulled in their biggest victory in World Cup history as they thrashed Costa Rica 7-0 at the Al Thumama Stadium in Qatar. They broke the record of the previous biggest win by a Spanish team in the World Cup, which was achieved in 1998 when Spain beat Bulgaria 6-1. 

 

Costa Rica, on the other hand, equalled a record of which they would not be proud at all as their 0-7 loss mirrored a similar scoreline that their national team had achieved in the 1986 World Cup against hosts Mexico in Mexico City.
