Cape Verde pulled off a stunning result in its World Cup debut, shutting out heavily favored Spain to a 0-0 draw. The final score is the biggest shock of the tournament so far.

Impressive Performance

An impressive performance by 40-year-old goalkeeper Vozinha helped Cape Verde play one of the favorites to a draw. Cape Verde actually had a chance to win the game, but Diney Borges’ late header was saved by Spain keeper Unai Simon.

European champion Spain’s roster is filled with superstar players. But they were frustrated by the underdogs from Cape Verde, with Vozinha pulling off a string of saves before halftime. Barcelona forward Ferran Torres came closest to scoring for Spain, hitting the bar with a shot and later forcing a save from Vozinha on another well-struck ball.

Cape Verde — a group of islands with around half a million inhabitants — is playing at its first World Cup. The 2010 champion Spain is aiming to win the World Cup for a second time, but coach Luis de la Fuente warned on Sunday that Cape Verde could be one of the surprise teams of the tournament.
