The Cape Verde national football team suffered a significant setback in the World Cup, losing to Uruguay in the match held in Miami. Cape Verde's player Arcanjo fell to the ground with cramps and was receiving help from Viñas, but the Uruguayan abandoned the opponent and went to the area, where the Celeste's goal was scored by Maxi Araújo. The play generated a lot of complaint from Cape Verde to the referee, for not having stopped the game to attend to Arcanjo. The player remained on the ground in pain during the goal, scored at 43 minutes of the first half. Going into the second half, Uruguay managed to turn the game around, with Canobbio scoring the winning goal. The match is considered a key game for the teams' aspirations, which drew in the opening match. Spain thrashed Saudi Arabia also on Sunday and leads with four points. Viña, from Uruguay, was helping with the attendance of the Cape Verde player before the attack that ended in a goal. Cape Verde's coach, Beto, did not comment on the play, but the African team's players showed dissatisfaction with the Uruguayan's attitude. The match was held in Miami, with the presence of many Cape Verde fans. The African team will need to recover for the next match, against Spain. But the defeat to Uruguay was a hard blow to Cape Verde's aspirations in the World Cup. So, the Cape Verde national football team needs to reorganize and find strength to move forward in the competition.
