Cape Verde secured a second consecutive shock result at the 2026 World Cup, drawing 2-2 with Uruguay in Miami to follow up their goalless stalemate against European champions Spain.

The minnows capitalised on errors in Uruguay’s defensive line to claim a share of the spoils, adding another point to what is already a historic group-stage tally for the African nation.

Cape Verde’s opening draw with Spain had already turned heads, but a second unbeaten result — this time against a South American heavyweight — underlines that their early performances are no fluke. Uruguay, who came into the match as heavy favourites, were unable to find a winner despite twice taking the lead.

Further details of the match are expected to follow.
