Cape Verde fall to Argentina after a heroic World Cup display
Cape Verde, the World Cup’s surprise package, earned a point against Spain and scored their first goals against Uruguay, then pushed reigning champions Argentina to the limit in Miami. Cabral’s wonder strike levelled the game twice, but a cruel deflection off Cristian Romero’s header handed Argentina a 3-2 extra-time win. Vozinha finished the tournament with a remarkable eight saves against Argentina (18 overall), becoming a cult hero as Cape Verde bowed out with hearts full and a historic campaign to their name.
