Cape Verde secures 2-2 draw against Uruguay in World Cup 2026

Cape Verde secured a 2-2 draw against Uruguay in their World Cup match, with Kevin Pina scoring the island nation’s first-ever World Cup goal. Uruguay initially responded with two goals from Maxi Araujo and Agustin Canobbio before a mistake by goalkeeper Fernando Muslera allowed Helio Varela to equalize for Cape Verde. Uruguay’s chances of advancing to the knockout stage are now precarious, as they face Spain next week and must win to avoid a second consecutive group-stage exit.
