Cape Verde continued their gripping debut World Cup campaign when they held two-time champions Uruguay to a thrilling draw in Miami.
The match was just as important for Cape Verde as their first group stage match, where they drew 1–1 with Ireland. Any kind of goal or point they could get was crucial in this match, as their next matches would be against two-time champions Brazil and 2010 champions Spain.
In this match, both teams took a total of 34 shots, but both teams could not score any goals. Uruguay took 20 shots of which 4 were on target, Cape Verde took 14 shots of which 3 were on target.
The draw gave Cape Verde their first ever World Cup group stage point.
