Commentary

European champions Spain are held 0-0 by World Cup debutants Cape Verde in one of the biggest upsets in the competition's long history. Spain had a whopping 27 shots, compared to six for their opponents, but none of the seven they managed on target could find a way past the inspired Vozinha. The 40-year-old produced some brilliant stops late in the first half to deny Oyarzabal, Laporte and Torres, with the latter also hitting the crossbar from Spain's best chance of the contest. Cape Verde had their own moments as they broke forward, but they lacked the quality required in the final third. Still, a point against the 2010 World Cup winners will go down as the greatest moment in their history. La Roja's xG of 2.29, compared to 0.3 for their opponents, paints a picture of what played out in Atlanta. But ultimately it is what you do with the ball and Spain just could not find a goal as Group H gets off to an exciting start.

90'+6'

FULL-TIME: SPAIN 0-0 CAPE VERDE

90'+5'

Oyarzabal meets the corner but it is a familiar feeling for Spain. That is surely that!

90'+4'

Mendes gets excited and has a go from range, but it is off target. That may be the final action of the game.

90'+3'

Cape Verde have four players charging forward but the wrong pass is made. Spain could just as easily lose this game.

90'+3'

Pedri enters the referee's book for halting a Cape Verde counter. That will eat up another minute or so.
