In a surprising turn of events at the 2026 World Cup, Cape Verde managed to secure a goalless draw against the reigning European champions, Spain, during their Group H opener held in Atlanta. The match showcased Cape Verde's resilience as they effectively defended against Spain's attacking efforts, despite the latter dominating possession in the first half. Notably, Spain's coach Luis De La Fuente included young talent Lamine Yamal in the starting lineup, but the team was unable to convert their chances into goals. This result marks a significant achievement for the debutants in the tournament.
