World Cup debutants Cape Verde continued their impressive FIFA World Cup 2026 campaign by fighting back to secure a 2-2 draw against Uruguay in Miami. Kevin Pina scored Cape Verde’s first-ever World Cup goal in the 21st minute before Uruguay responded through Maximiliano Araujo and Agustin Canobbio. A costly error by veteran goalkeeper Fernando Muslera allowed Helio Varela to equalise after the break. Cape Verde now have two points from two matches and can secure a last-32 place with victory over Saudi Arabia, while Uruguay face a must-win clash against Spain to keep qualification hopes alive.
