Spain collided with Cape Verde's excellent defense (0-0)

Unai Simone, Laporte and Oyarzabal started, and Merino and Nico Williams left in the second half.

Mikel Oyarzabal, desperate.

Spain debuted at the World Cup in the opening match to show cards, with little rhythm and slow ball movement for Luis de la Fuente's team despite the weather conditions on the Atlanta football field, which is covered and air-conditioned, while Cape Verde endured Spain with an excellent defense and scored a point in its first World Cup match (0-0).

Unai Simone, Laporte and Mikel Oyarzabal have started, and Merino and Nico Williams have jumped into the field throughout the second half. Spain has not been able to win, despite the clearest occasions of the meeting, nor Cape Verde, despite being the only chance to score more than one point in the final leg of the meeting.

Disney Borges had the opportunity to move on to his country's history books in the 89th minute. His was Cape Verde's first score, which Unai Simon stopped without any major problems.
