GolVolt Recap

Cape Verde and Saudi Arabia ground out a miserable 0-0 draw at Houston Stadium in Group H, delivering a match defined entirely by cynical fouls rather than attacking intent. With zero goals to report, the referee's notebook took center stage. Saud Abdulhamid set a bruising tone with a booking just four minutes in, answered swiftly by Wagner Pina in the ninth. Saudi Arabia collected two more cautions through Nasser Al-Dawsari in the 67th minute and Firas Al-Buraikan in stoppage time, cementing a completely toothless stalemate.
