Spain stunned in 0-0 draw with World Cup debutants Cape Verde

Cape Verde pulled off a ​World Cup shock ​by holding Spain to a 0-0 draw in the opening game of Group H on Monday, where the European champions and one ⁠of the tournament favourites could find ⁠no way past the debutants and their keeper Vozinha.
Despite dominating possession, Spain's first real threat ‌came late in the ​opening half ⁠when Ferran Torres somehow smashed ​a close-range shot off ‌the bar and Cape Verde keeper Vozinha tipped ​over Mikel Oyarzabal's header from the rebound.
Vozinha also denied Torres and Aymeric Laporte to keep the game goalless at the break ‌and even the introduction of winger ​Lamine Yamal failed to inspire Spain to ​victory.
A ‌dogged ⁠Cape Verde side held on for a famous point in their first-ever ​World Cup game and even ⁠created late ​chances of their own as they threatened to cause an even bigger upset. The other two teams in Group ​H, Saudi Arabia and Uruguay, ​meet in Miami later on Monday. — Reuters
