Ferran Torres misses Spain’s biggest chance in World Cup opener
Spain struggled in its World Cup 2026 opener against Cape Verde and failed to score in the first 60 minutes, despite being the European champion. The match was reported on June 15, 2026, at 20:25 by Sport 5.
The clearest opportunity came in the 39th minute. Marc Cucurella made a smart run and headed the ball into Ferran Torres’ path, leaving the Barcelona forward alone in the center of the six-yard box, about four meters from goal. Torres’ finish struck the crossbar.
The miss was quickly labeled online as the tournament’s biggest so far. On Football Tweet, one post said, “Ferran Torres won the title of miss of the tournament at the World Cup,” adding that it was “a chance you simply cannot miss.”
