Cape Verde continue their debut World Cup run by drawing 2-2 with Uruguay in Group H in Miami. After opening their tournament with a draw against Spain, Cape Verde take another result against a former champion, scoring the first two World Cup goals in the country’s history in the match. Uruguay take the lead in the 44th minute through Maximiliano Araujo, after an earlier moment when Sidney Lopes Cabral redirects the ball toward his own post. Uruguay then go ahead just before halftime when Agustín Canobbio turns in Araujo’s header in first-half stoppage time. In the second half, Uruguay’s goalkeeper Fernando Muslera makes an error off his line, allowing Cape Verde substitute Hélio Varela to score shortly after the hour to level the match. Neither side then finds a winner, and Cape Verde remain unbeaten as Group H stays tight. The result leaves Uruguay’s progress uncertain after they are held again, while Cape Verde build momentum heading into their final group match against Saudi Arabia, with qualification for the last 32 presented as a realistic goal if they secure a victory.
