Cape Verde vs Uruguay Last Night: Vozinha Does It Again

[Falcon]

Cape Verde made it three matches without losing at this World Cup. Their debut tournament. They drew 0-0 with Spain. They lost to Uruguay but only after scoring first and making Uruguay work extremely hard for a win. Vozinha the forty-year-old goalkeeper who became a global celebrity after the Spain match was back in goal. Uruguay eventually won but Cape Verde's tournament story is already one of the best at these finals. A nation of 500,000 people holding Spain goalless and threatening Uruguay. The expanded format was built for exactly these moments and Cape Verde have delivered them repeatedly.
