Uruguay 2-2 Cape Verde: FIFA World Cup 2026 Little Cabo Verde registered another giant draw with a former FIFA World Cup winner. After finishing goalless with Spain, Bubista’s team recovered a half-time deficit to hold Uruguay at Miami Stadium.
Cabo Verde took a shock lead when Telmo Arcanjo earned a free-kick and, from 34 yards, Kevin Pina fired it through a gap in the wall and into the bottom corner.
Bubista’s side were gifted an equaliser when Varela capitalised upon a defensive mix-up and slotted home. It was all Uruguay thereafter, but with the legendary Luis Suarez cheering them on from the stands, they were unable to break down a defence marshalled masterfully by Pico Lopes and Sidny Lopes Cabral.
