Spain opened the 2026 World Cup with a huge disappointment, finishing in a 0-0 draw against Cape Verde, which is participating in the tournament for the first time in its history. The European champions dominated the match and fired 21 shots on goal, but failed to overcome Vozinha, the goalkeeper of the small island nation, who delivered a great performance with seven saves. Even Barcelona star Lamine Yamal, who was doubtful for the match due to injury and came on as a substitute in the 70th minute, could not help his team. For Cape Verde, this is their first-ever point at the World Cup.
