Cape Verde held Uruguay to a 2-2 draw in Miami, with Kevin Pina scoring a stunning free kick and Helio Varela grabbing a late equaliser. Uruguay led twice but could not hold the lead, and FIFA named Kevin Pina Man of the Match. Cape Verde remain unbeaten after an earlier draw with Spain and now have a real chance to reach the knockout stage in the expanded 48-team 2026 World Cup. The result highlights how smaller nations can upend traditional powers and reshapes Group H dynamics ahead of the final matchday.
