Spain have more than 70% of the ball but haven't done much with it, and Cape Verde have been more than happy to sit in and counter.
17:06 BST - It's a ranking mismatch on paper with Spain the world's second-best team and Cape Verde 67th.
But as we all know, the game isn't played on paper, and literally anything can happen.
