How Monday's 2026 World Cup action unfolded | OneFootball

The fifth day of the World Cup has come to an end, and we are still seeing several surprising results, with this matchday giving us the most so far.

In addition, almost all of the participating national teams have already made their debut, so we are very close to the second round of matches, which could start to define everything ahead of the knockout stage.

Spain 0-0 Cape Verde

The day began with the clash between Spain and Cape Verde, which ended in a surprising goalless draw, in a match that was completely dominated by Spain, with more than 70 percent possession and close to 30 shots.

But they struggled badly with their finishing, as only seven shots were on target and we can really talk about just two clear scoring chances.

Belgium 1-1 Egypt

The second match was the clash between Belgium and Egypt in a very even game, with Belgium controlling possession, but with an opponent that never sat back and had several dangerous counterattacks.

In the end, despite it being a surprising result, it turned out to be a fair draw after what we saw over the 90 minutes.

Saudi Arabia 1-1 Uruguay

A match very similar to what we saw in Spain vs Cape Verde, Uruguay dominated all the statistics, with almost 70 percent possession and 27 shots, but the opposing goalkeeper was the standout performer with nine saves in total.

Iran 2-2 New Zealand

Without a doubt the best match of the day, with two teams committed to attacking and generating more than 30 chances between them. In the end, it was a fair draw.
