Spain begin their World Cup campaign with a goalless draw against Cape Verde, finishing 0-0 despite expectations that they could challenge for the title. Multiple reports say Spain fail to “impress” in the match, with limited impact in attack and no goals scored by either side.
Both outlets also note that Spain’s forward Lamine Yamal remains sidelined with injury, keeping him out of the opening game. His absence is highlighted as a factor in Spain’s difficulty generating offense.
In the other fixture cited, Sweden secure a decisive 5-1 win over Tunisia. The Sweden-Tunisia result provides contrast to Spain’s stalled start, with Sweden scoring multiple goals and ending the match comfortably.
Taken together, the reports describe a World Cup opening day in which Spain draw without scoring, Cape Verde hold firm defensively, and Sweden post a large win over Tunisia.
