“Even though it’s a draw, this is one of the most shocking results in World Cup history. Spain entered this tournament as European champions and one of THE favourites to win it all. Cape Verde entered their first World Cup ever as the 3rd smallest nation to ever qualify. This was their first World Cup game ever. Yet, they both ended this game with the same amount of goals. Spain had the ball in their attacking half for like 90% of the game, but a combination of outsmarting and outworking with a bit of luck gave them a draw that might as well be a win. This is the same kind of thing that cost Spain dearly in 2018 and 2022. I thought they finally had finishing, but clearly the Euros was an aberration and their attack solely relies on Yamal and Nico. With that being said, Cape Verde deserves all the flowers and more, especially their defence and goalkeeping. They shut down a team everyone thought was going to destroy them and given themselves a real chance to get out of the group. Bravo!”
