Cape Verde produced the first big surprise of the FIFA World Cup 2026 by holding tournament favourites Spain to a goalless draw in their historic World Cup debut in Atlanta. The underdogs delivered a disciplined defensive performance, with 40-year-old goalkeeper Vozinha making three crucial saves to frustrate the Spanish attack. Ferran Torres came closest for Spain after striking the crossbar, while a half-fit Lamine Yamal was introduced only for the final 20 minutes. Spain failed to score in a competitive first half for the first time in 18 months as Cape Verde celebrated a memorable point.
