According to as.com:
A vintage performance from Spain. The most impressive display from any team so far?
Three goals in the first half, four in the second.
A faultless performance from Luis Enrique’s men, who were bright and slick in possession, although their work off the ball was perhaps even more impressive.
It’s hard to say that Luis Fernando Suárez’s side played badly in possession because they saw so little of the ball but they really struggled to deal with Spain’s passing and movement.
Ripping through The Ticos was so easy for the La Furia Roja as they never stopped pushing forward.
Goalscorers: Dani Olmo (7′), Marco Asensio (21′), Ferran Torres (31′ pen, 54′), Gavi (74′), Carlos Soler (90′), Alvaro Morata (90+2′).
