Cape Verde Shocks Uruguay Again: Can World Cup’s Dark Horses Rewrite History in Miami?
Pina’s early strike was the longest-range goal of the World Cup so far and the first free-kick scored by an African nation in the tournament since Kalu Uche netted for Nigeria against Greece in 2010.
At 2-2, Jamiro Monteiro rippled the roof of the net from range for Cape Verde who always carried a threat on the break.
Uruguay then bundled the ball in after a real scramble but the flag was raised.
Uruguay had several late sights of goal but could not find a winner and Cape Verde now have a real chance of progressing with a result against Saudi Arabia in their final group game.
