The friendly between Spain and Serbia in Villarreal turned into the stage for a historic feat that fans had been waiting for over a century.
Details: In the 72nd minute, forward Víctor Muñoz, who came on as a substitute for Mikel Oyarzabal, extended the lead for La Roja, making it 3-0. According to MisterChip, this goal was not just crucial for the game but also for the record books: Muñoz became only the second Osasuna player ever to score on his debut for the Spanish national team.
Remarkably, the previous instance happened exactly one hundred years ago. The first player from the Pamplona club to score on his Spain debut was the legendary Severiano Goiburu. His historic goal came on December 19, 1926, against Hungary, and since then, no Osasuna player had managed to repeat this feat in their first match for La Roja.
It’s worth noting that Spain continues to dominate, and as of the 80th minute, the score remains 3-0 in favor of La Roja.
Reminder: Real Sociedad and Spain forward Mikel Oyarzabal climbed to 9th place on Spain’s all-time top scorers list.
