0:00 Iran - New Zealand 3:05 Saudi Arabia - Uruguay 6:07 Belgium - Egypt 9:02 Spain - Cape Verde Saudi Arabia - Uruguay Uruguay could only manage a 1-1 (0-1) draw against Saudi Arabia in their opening match of the World Cup. In the second half, the South Americans came close to turning the game around, but were repeatedly thwarted by Saudi Arabia's goalkeeper Mohammed Al-Owais. Abdulelah Al-Amri gave Saudi Arabia the lead after 41 minutes in sweltering Miami heat. Four years ago, Saudi Arabia had defeated eventual champions Argentina in their opening match. This time, however, there was no upset, as Uruguay improved significantly after halftime and Maxi Araujo (80th minute) scored a well-deserved equalizer. That they couldn't secure a win was largely due to Saudi Arabia's goalkeeper Al-Owais, who made eleven outstanding saves. Abdulelah Al-Amri gave Saudi Arabia the lead after 41 minutes in the sweltering heat of Miami. Iran - New Zealand Iran twice fell behind in their tense World Cup opener against New Zealand, but showed resilience and salvaged a draw. Iran and New Zealand drew 2-2 (1-1) in their opening match. Elijah Just scored the early opener for New Zealand (7th minute), but Ramin Rezaeian equalized (32nd minute). After the break, Just put his team back in front (55th minute). Nine minutes later, Mohammad Mohebi scored to make it 2-2. Belgium - Egypt The Belgian national team could only manage a 1-1 (0-1) draw against Egypt in their World Cup opener. The Belgians have always been considered dark horses in previous tournaments. The road to the title will likely be too long again this time. On superstar Mo Salah's 34th birthday, Emam Ashour (20th minute) deservedly gave Egypt the lead. The "Pharaohs" played well. Even Salah, whose future remains uncertain after his departure from Liverpool, wasn't too proud to put in the hard work and made some crucial defensive contributions. But Romelu Lukaku's power brought Belgium back into the game. The substitute threw himself into a challenge shortly after coming on, and Egypt's Mohamed Hany inadvertently scored the equalizer (66'). The top match in Group G ended in a draw. Spain – Cape Verde The African island nation of Cape Verde pulled off one of the biggest upsets in World Cup history. The 40-year-old goalkeeper Vózinha delivered a performance for the ages, causing a colossal Spanish embarrassment. The "Blue Sharks" put on a brilliant display of fighting spirit and barely allowed the unimaginative and static favorites any room to maneuver. Goalkeeper Vózinha, in particular, had an outstanding game, frustrating Spain with numerous brilliant saves. For the 530,000 inhabitants of Cape Verde, off the west coast of Africa, this day will go down in history. _________________________________________________________________________________ Bundesliga, DFB Cup, international matches: Here we bring you the highlights – completely ad-free. ...
