Cape Verde resisted Argentina once again in extra time, with Sidny Lopes Cabral equalizing at the 102nd minute with a spectacular strike to make it 2-2 after Lisandro Martinez had restored the advantage for the Albiceleste at the 92nd.

The Sharks had already forced the world champions into extra time by holding the score at 1-1 after the 90 minutes of regular time. Far from simply defending their result, the Cape Verdeans continued to trouble an Argentina side that thought they had done the hard part through Martinez.

Then Cabral struck. His attempt, with rare power and precision, left the opposing goalkeeper with no reaction and leveled the two teams for the second time of the evening. A goal that illustrates Cape Verde’s ability to stand up to the world’s best national teams well beyond regular time.
