Havana, June 15 (RHC) – Spain, the current European champions, disappointed today in their debut at the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Mexico, the United States and Canada, drawing 0-0 against debutants Cape Verde.
In Atlanta, what appeared to be a lopsided match in favor of the Europeans ended up being more of a fiasco than a victory, leaving the Spanish players frustrated.
La Roja extended their unbeaten streak to 32 official matches, but left with a bitter taste in their mouths after failing to overcome a team making its debut in this competition.
In the same Group H, Saudi Arabia and Uruguay drew 1-1 in Miami, leaving their qualification for the next round uncertain.
Abdelah Al-Amri scored for the Saudis in the 41st minute, and Maximiliano Araújo equalized in the 80th.
Meanwhile, Belgium also drew 1-1 with Egypt in Seattle, with goals from Mohamed Hany for the Europeans and Emam Ashour for the Africans.
In the same group, Iran and New Zealand also drew in Los Angeles, but the score was 2-2.
Elijah Just scored twice for the New Zealanders, and Ramin Rezaeian and Mohammad Mohebi scored for the Persians.
