FIFA World Cup 2026 | Cape Verde Fans Celebrate Historic Draw Against Spain In World Cup Debut

There were jubilant scenes in Cape Verde on Monday after the tiny island nation pulled off a stunning result in its World Cup debut, drawing 0-0 with heavily-favoured Spain. The final score is the biggest shock of the tournament so far. European champion Spain's roster is filled with superstar players. But they were frustrated by the underdogs from Cape Verde, with keeper, Vozinha, pulling off a string of saves before halftime. Cape Verde - a group of islands with around half a million inhabitants - is playing at its first World Cup.
