Cape Verde Holds Spain to 0‑0 Draw in World Cup Debut

Cape Verde shocked the tournament by keeping heavily‑favoured Spain scoreless in its first World Cup appearance, finishing 0‑0. Goalkeeper "Vozinha" made a series of crucial saves, earning praise as the match’s best player. Coach Bubista said his side controlled the game without dominating possession, highlighting disciplined defensive organisation and resilience.
