Spain had to settle for a point in its debut at the 2026 World Cup. In a duel that took place at the Atlanta Stadium, the “Red” could not get past a 0-0 draw against the modest Cape Verde. The Concacaf team made a strong debut in its nascent World Cup history.
The second day was held in Seattle. The Egyptian team almost surprised Belgium with a victory. Enam Ashour put the Africans ahead in the first half. But in the second half Mohamed Hany scored a goal against an attempted clearance to seal the 1-1 tie.
The third duel of the day had another tie. Saudi Arabia, just as it did in the last World Cup, surprised a world champion in his debut. Abdulelah Al-Amri put the Arabs ahead in the first half. Maximiliano Araujo equalized the score 10 minutes from time and rescued a point for the Charrúas.
The last duel of the day featured Iran and New Zealand. The Los Angeles Stadium witnessed an attractive match in Group G that ended with a 2-2 score. Mohammad Mohebi and Ramin Rezaeian were the authors of the Iranian goals; Elijah Just scored a double for New Zealand.
