Historic Draw: Cape Verde Hold Spain to 0-0 and Set World Cup Record

1 / 2

Cape Verde began their first World Cup campaign with a 0-0 draw against Spain in Group H. The Euro 2024 champions dominated possession but failed to break down the resilient African side. Statisticians recorded Cape Verde’s single foul as the fewest in a World Cup match since 1966. Their disciplined defence repelled Spain’s attacks and kept the match goalless. Veteran goalkeeper Vozinha made seven saves and earned Man of the Match. The Blue Sharks also became the third African team to claim a point in this tournament after Morocco and Ivory Coast.
