Four matches, four draws: At the football World Cup, a matchday without a winner occurred – last seen in 1958. World football governing body FIFA reacted to the rare series.

As Tagesspiegel reports, all four matches on the latest matchday of the football World Cup ended in draws. Former world champions Spain drew 0-0 with outsiders Cape Verde, Belgium and Egypt played 1-1, Saudi Arabia and Uruguay also 1-1, and Iran and New Zealand 2-2. Such a day without a winner last occurred on June 15, 1958, during the tournament in Sweden.

World football governing body FIFA commented on the series on platform X with the words: “Perfectly balanced, as it should be.” Back in 1958, Germany drew 2-2 with Northern Ireland, England 2-2 with Austria, Paraguay 3-3 with Yugoslavia, and Sweden 0-0 with Wales. The current World Cup is still in the group stages, and further surprises are possible.
