The World Cup dominated the sports agenda, with Spain answering early criticism in emphatic style as 18-year-old Lamine Yamal marked his first start of the tournament with his first World Cup goal in a 4-0 win over Saudi Arabia, a result that puts Luis de la Fuente’s side firmly on course for the knockout stage. Egypt made history too, claiming their first-ever World Cup victory as Mohamed Salah inspired a 3-1 comeback against New Zealand to send the Pharaohs top of Group G. That group remains finely poised after Belgium were held 0-0 by a disciplined Iran, with Nathan Ngoy’s red card deepening Belgian anxiety. In Group H, debutants Cape Verde continued their remarkable run, earning a 2-2 draw with Uruguay and proving they are no longer just a feel-good story but genuine contenders to reach the last 32.
