Cape Verde secured a 2-2 draw against Uruguay in Miami, adding another point to their surprising World Cup campaign after a previous draw with Spain. Kevin Pina scored Cape Verde’s first-ever World Cup goal, but Uruguay responded with goals from Maximiliano Araujo and Agustin Canobbio before halftime. A costly error by Uruguay’s veteran goalkeeper, Fernando Muslera, allowed Helio Varela to equalize in the second half. The draw keeps Cape Verde’s chances of reaching the knockout stage alive, needing a win against Saudi Arabia in their final group match. Uruguay’s prospects are significantly diminished, potentially requiring a victory against Spain to avoid group-stage elimination. The result marks a challenging start to the tournament for the two-time World Cup champions, following a previous draw against Saudi Arabia.
