World Cup stunner: Cape Verde gets 1st goal of tournament, holds Uruguay to 2-2 draw
MIAMI GARDENS (FLORIDA): (Jun 22) Cape Verde’s magical start to its first World Cup isn’t over. It might just be getting started.
The tiny island nation that stunned tournament favourite Spain last week did it again against Uruguay – a two-time World Cup champion – on Sunday, coming from behind for a 2-2 draw.
Kevin Pina scored on a free kick for Cape Verde’s first-ever goal in the World Cup, and Helio Varela scored the equaliser for what has become one of the most surprising teams of the expanded 48-team tournament – a club now with a legitimate chance of getting into the knockout stage.
