Lamal continued to torment the Irish defence after the restart as fellow La Masia star Marc Guiu poked home a second goal.
However, the recording breaking Yamal was not to be denied a place on the score sheet, as his fine solo effort sealed the victory, and confirmed his place as the star of the tournament so far.
