THE LOWDOWN — THE FULL HISTORY
THE SIMULATION
Before kick-off, our prediction engine simulated Spain v Cape Verde at the 2026 World Cup and put the result on record.
THE CALL
Spain 3-0 Cape Verde, with Mikel Oyarzabal scoring first and Lamine Yamal running the game.
THE CONTEXT
For the first time, Spain started a World Cup with no Real Madrid player. Cape Verde, the smallest nation ever to reach a World Cup, were making their debut.
NOTE
This is an engine simulation made before the match, not real footage or the actual result.
