Yamal was speechless.

Forward Lamine Yamal was disappointed as Spain were held to a 0-0 draw by Cape Verde in their opening match of Group H at the 2026 World Cup on the morning of June 16th.

Yamal bowed his head and walked into the tunnel after the match ended. Disappointment was clearly visible on the face of the Barcelona striker in his 2026 World Cup debut.

Against Cape Verde, Yamal was benched by coach Luis de la Fuente and only came on in the 71st minute. During his time on the pitch, the 18-year-old striker played hard but lacked the ability to make a difference.

Yamal was as active in dribbling as usual. But against Cape Verde's numerous and tight defenders, the Barcelona forward didn't have many opportunities to combine with his teammates.

Cape Verde put up a brave fight by holding Spain, one of the favorites to win the 2026 World Cup, to a draw.
