Uruguay 2 – 2 Cabo Verde
What a result for Cape Verde!
They rallied in the second half to draw 2-2 with two-time World Cup winners Uruguay, coming back from 2-1 down.
Late first-half goals from Araujo and Canobbio had turned the game on its head after Pina’s piledriving free-kick.
La Celeste started the second period strongly, producing 2.34 xG.
However, the Blue Sharks were soon on the attack, with Cabral and Monteiro testing the defence.
They were then gifted a goal when Olivera’s terrible sidewards pass drew Muslera out of his box, allowing Cape Verde substitute Helio Varela to tap into an empty net for 2-2.
Further openings followed as Cape Verde racked up 0.86 xG, with Monteiro, Pico Lopes and Laros Duarte all having chances to complete the comeback.
However, they also had to weather a storm as Uruguay piled on pressure, even seeing a goal ruled out for offside against Araujo.
Rodriguez, Bentancur, and Valverde couldn’t find a late winner, and La Celeste are forced to settle for a 2-2 draw, leaving their World Cup hopes hanging by a thread.
A Spain side with renewed confidence awaits Marcelo Bielsa’s charges, who have just two points from six.
Cape Verde will take on Saudi Arabia, knowing they may not even need to win to reach the last 32.
