The Spain team suffered a stumble in their opening Group H match of the FIFA World Cup 2026.
The match was being held to a stunning 0-0 draw by World Cup debutants Cabo Verde at the Atlanta Stadium.
Despite dominating possession and peppering the goal with 23 shots, La Roja failed to break the deadlock.
The heroic performance of 40-year-old Cabo Verde goalkeeper Vozinha, who made 8 crucial saves, and a desperate, resolute defensive effort secured a historic point for the tiny island nation.
Spain threw on attacking substitutes like Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams in the second half, but Cabo Verde's backline held firm.
The stunning draw will go down as one of the biggest shocks in World Cup history, blowing Group H wide open with Uruguay and Saudi Arabia also in the group.
