Gavi, 18, is the youngest man to play for Spain at a World Cup and his goal made him the youngest goalscorer at a finals since Brazilian Pele in 1958.
Earlier in the day, Germany were stunned 2-1 by Japan, who came from behind to seal the victory.
Spain will face Germany in their next game on Sunday, and another win for them would all but eliminate their great European rivals.
