Cape Verde stifle Spain in World Cup debut stalemate
Cape Verde earned a historic 0-0 draw with Spain on their World Cup debut in Atlanta, aided by 40-year-old goalkeeper Vozinha’s seven saves as his defense frustrated the European champions; Spain registered 27 attempts and 2,500 passes since their last World Cup goal, but could not break through, with Mikel Oyarzabal notably going 30 minutes without a touch. Spain’s slow-opening-game record remains a concern, with just three opening-game wins in their last 15 World Cups.
