The Cape Verde national football team started well in the game against Uruguay and scored the first goal with Kevin Pina. Uruguay decided to wake up and take the game to aggression and intensity, which visibly left the Cape Verdeans bewildered. The two goals that emerged from the outset in the first half are a testament to this, with the two central defenders having many difficulties in the aerial game, suffering twice in a very similar way. Losing at the entrance to the second half, the Cape Verde national football team tried to change the game, but never had much capacity for well-combined exits. It ended up counting again on Fernando Muslera for the second success story. Bad pass from a Uruguayan midfielder and poor reading from the goalkeeper, who was completely out of position. Like Kevin Pina before, Hélio Varela thanked and shot into an empty goal, tying everything in Miami. Uruguay returned to the charge and even scored, but was flagged for offside. The Cape Verde national football team returned to lack great discernment in the exits, while the opponent loaded everything to seek a victory that was crucial, since now Marcelo Bielsa's team will have to beat Spain if they don't want to wait. With many dangerous plays around Vozinha, the Cape Verde national football team resisted as much as possible, leaving Luis Suárez, Uruguay's historic player, visibly uncomfortable on the bench. In the end, and with Uruguay already in a somewhat anarchic mode, the Cape Verde national football team could even have won, finishing the game on top of the opponent, showing a spirit that we almost only see in South American teams. The Cape Verde national football team scored not one, but two goals, the first in World Cup history. Great performance with carousel notes from Bubista's team. Uruguay no longer has Diego Forlán, Edinson Cavani or Luis Suárez, but has a selection for much more than this. The team seems to be stuck in an emotional rollercoaster that doesn't let them do more. The Cape Verde national football team has everything to reach the next stage, having to score with Saudi Arabia to do so. Otherwise, if Uruguay loses to Spain, that point can even reach the second place.
