Despite the challenges, first-time World Cup participants Cape Verde have a genuine opportunity to advance to the next round following a remarkable comeback that secured a crucial draw against the two-time champions Uruguay.
It was a momentous evening in Miami when Kevin Pina netted his nation’s inaugural World Cup goal, putting them ahead in the first half.
The game returned to normal just before halftime as Maxi Araujo scored an equalizer, followed by Agustin Canobbio giving the South Americans the lead six minutes into stoppage time.
Cape Verde did not fall, despite enduring prolonged pressure to remain in the competition, until Helio Varela shocked the world with a goal that equalized the match.
The outcome sees Uruguay and Cape Verde tied on two points each as they head into the last matchday, with the underdogs set to take on fourth-placed Saudi Arabia.
