⚡ OYARZABAL +400 FGS MARKET FAVOURITE · SCORED 10TH MIN vs KSA IN FIRST WC START · 14 GOALS IN LAST 13 SPAIN STARTS · YAMAL +500 ALSO SCORED vs KSA IN 10TH MIN · RACING POST: "URUGUAY CONCEDED FIRST GOAL IN 4 OF LAST 5 GAMES" · SPORTSGAMBLER MAKES OYARZABAL FGS FAVOURITE AT +360
Spain's FGS board is exceptional. Oyarzabal is the clear market favourite (+400 ESPN / +360 Sportsgambler) with 14 goals in 13 Spain starts and a habit of scoring early — 10th minute vs KSA. Yamal also scored in the 10th minute in the same game. Uruguay have conceded the first goal in 4 of their last 5 games. The first goal of this match is very likely to go to Spain — and very likely to come from Oyarzabal.
📖 How First Goalscorer Works · Key Rules

✅ Pays out: Your chosen player scores the very first goal of the match at any point in 90 minutes + stoppage time.

⚠️ Voids (stake returned): The match ends 0-0 — stake returned. Given Spain's attack and Uruguay's must-win approach, a 0-0 is unlikely (CBS/Eimer backs Over 2.5, Spain TT O1.5 is -155).

❌ Loses: A different player scores first. Own goals typically don't count — the next scorer becomes the "first goalscorer." Racing Post: "Uruguay have conceded the first goal in four of their last five games" — Spain opening the scoring is the overwhelming expectation.

🏆 Top First Goalscorer Picks

⭐ FGS MARKET FAVOURITE · +400 · SCORED 10TH MIN vs KSA FIRST WC START · 14 GOALS IN 13 SPAIN STARTS · PENALTY TAKER · $10→$50
🇪🇸 Mikel Oyarzabal · First Goalscorer

+400
$10→$50

Oyarzabal is the FGS market favourite on multiple books. Sportsgambler: "Oyarzabal is the favourite to be First Goalscorer at +360." He scored in the 10th minute of his first WC start vs Saudi Arabia — Spain use him as their primary striker who gets on the end of early chances. Racing Post: "Oyarzabal scored having also had five shots against Cape Verde before scoring twice in the first half vs Saudi Arabia." He has 14 goals in his last 13 Spain starts and takes penalties. Uruguay concede the first goal in 4 of their last 5 games. This is the clearest FGS play on the board — $10 returns $50. $10→$50.

Oyarzabal FGS +400 — market favourite. Scored 10th min vs KSA. 14 goals in 13 Spain starts. Penalty taker. $10→$50.
💎 SECOND CHOICE · FGS +500 · ALSO SCORED vs KSA IN 10TH MIN · INSTRUCTED TO SHOOT EARLY · SANABRIA 3RD PERCENTILE LB · $10→$60
🇪🇸 Lamine Yamal · First Goalscorer
Barcelona · RW · ESPN FD +500 · scored 10th min vs KSA · $10→$60
+500
$10→$60

Yamal scored the opening goal in Spain's 4-0 win vs Saudi Arabia — also in the 10th minute. Goal.com: "Tipping him to score the first goal — just as he did against the Saudis — feels like a good shout. The teenager is instructed to try his luck and cut inside from the right to test the goalkeeper." Uruguay LB Sanabria is statistically one of the weakest defenders at this tournament (3rd percentile duels) and faces Yamal directly. At +500 ($10→$60), he is the natural secondary FGS bet alongside Oyarzabal — both scored in the 10th minute vs KSA.

Yamal FGS +500. Scored first goal vs KSA (10th min). Shoot early. Sanabria 3rd percentile. $10→$60.

📊 The Key Stat: Uruguay Concede First in 4 of Last 5 Games

Racing Post confirms: Uruguay have conceded the first goal in four of their last five games. This directly supports Spain FGS bets — Spain are very likely to score first, and Oyarzabal (14 goals in 13 Spain starts, scored in 10th minute vs KSA) and Yamal (also scored in 10th minute vs KSA) are the two most likely openers.

Combining a $10 Oyarzabal +400 with a $10 Yamal +500 gives you $20 total exposure — winning $50 or $60 respectively. Both are voided if the game somehow ends 0-0 (very unlikely given Spain TT O1.5 is -155 and Over 2.5 is backed by CBS/Eimer).
