00:00Nobody won today.
00:02And somehow, football did.
00:05Four World Cup matches, four draws.
00:07The first time that's happened on a single World Cup day since 1958.
00:12But don't mistake draws for a dull day because it was packed with noise, drama, late twists
00:18and one unforgettable underdog story.
00:25His name is Vozinha.
00:27It means voice in Portuguese.
00:30By the end of the night, the whole football world could hear him.
00:34Carpe Verde's 40-year-old goalkeeper, nicknamed Little Grandma, delivered the performance
00:39of his life as Spain were held to a stunning 0-0 draw.
00:44He saved everything, dived everywhere, punched, clawed and scrambled.
00:48Little Grandma found his voice.
00:51Spain lost theirs.
00:53The result sent shockwaves around the tournament.
00:56Carpe Verde nearly won it too.
00:58The blue shark suddenly looked capable of biting anyone.
01:02Elsewhere, Mohamed Salah celebrated his 34th birthday with an assist and thought Egypt were
01:08heading for a famous victory over Belgium.
01:10Then Romelu Lukaku lumbered off the bench.
01:13Within minutes, chaos followed and Belgium escaped with a 1-1 draw.
01:18Uruguay also left it late.
01:20After travel chaos before the tournament and frustration during the game, they finally broke
01:26through against Saudi Arabia.
01:27But only for a point.
01:29And if you wanted goals, Iran and New Zealand delivered.
01:32Twice the Kiwis led, twice Iran fought back in a breathless 2-2 thriller.
01:39So yes, 4 draws, shared the points and Little Grandma stole the day.
01:44Bob Holmes and Amadeep Gill, FMT.
