In a thrilling World Cup opener, debutants Cape Verde held their own against a star-studded Spanish squad, securing a stunning 0-0 draw in their Group E match. The island nation's impressive defensive display left Spain's attacking lineup, which included the highly-anticipated Lamine Yamal, struggling to find the back of the net. Yamal, the 13-year-old sensation who made history by becoming the youngest player to represent Spain in a World Cup, came off the bench in the second half, but even his presence couldn't spark a Spanish comeback. The result marks a major upset for Spain, who will look to regroup and secure crucial points in their next group stage match.
