Cabo Verde Continue to Frustrate Spain in Stunning Upset
Spain's World Cup campaign has gotten off to a surprising start, with Cabo Verde, ranked 67th in the world, holding one of the tournament favorites. The 40-year-old Vozinha has been instrumental in goal for Cabo Verde, making several key saves, including a fingertip stop and a good low save to deny Torres.
Cabo Verde's defense has been excellent, with the team making heroic tackles to deny Oyarzabal and other Spanish players. Meanwhile, Spain's Pedri had a shot from distance easily saved, and the team is still waiting for its first clear-cut chance.
In other World Cup news, Tunisia boss Sabri Lamouchi is reportedly set to be sacked after his team's 5-1 defeat to Sweden. Elsewhere, Marc Cucurella, who completed his move to Real Madrid from Chelsea, is starting for Spain against Cabo Verde.
Prior to the match, Spain's Lamine Yamal was declared fit for the team's World Cup opener, but was left on the bench along with Nico Williams. France coach Didier Deschamps has tipped Spain as one of the favorites to win the tournament, saying he has no doubt about their chances.
In separate news, the Premier League has explained why Tottenham was not awarded a penalty in their draw against Leeds. Additionally, an error by Brazilian goalkeeper Bento delayed Cristiano Ronaldo's first title in Saudi Arabia, as Al-Nassr's lead was erased in the 53rd minute of the second half.
