miami: Another big upset has been seen in the Football World Cup. In a Group-H match, small team Cape Verde held Latin America's giant team Uruguay to a 2-2 draw. This match became historic for Cape Verde, because the team also scored its first goal in the World Cup in this match.
Cape Verde, which came with the confidence of defeating a strong team like Spain in the last match, took the lead in the 21st minute of the match. Kevin Pina scored a brilliant free-kick to put his team ahead 1-0.
Even after having a one-goal lead, Cape Verde did not show defensive play and continued attacking. However, a few minutes before the end of the first half, Maxi Araújo scored for Uruguay to level the score at 1–1. Soon after, when it looked like the first half would end in a draw, Agustín Canobio scored another goal to give Uruguay a 2–1 lead.
Cape Verde made a great comeback in the second half. In the 61st minute of the match, Helio Varela scored an excellent goal to level the score at 2-2. Kevin Pina, who scored a brilliant goal from a long distance free-kick, was declared 'Man of the Match'.
With this draw, Cape Verde is in third place in Group H with two points. If the team wins its next match against Saudi Arabia, it will have chances of reaching the knockout round.
