At Hard Rock Stadium, Miami:
Uruguay 2-2 Cape Verde
21' Kevin Pina
44' Ara||jo
45'+6' Canobbio
61' H|-lio Varela
Cape Verde does it again. Another display of a lot of heart in a very
much of a back-and-forth match that could have gone either way.
A decisively negative contribution by Muslera, who was at fault both
Cape Verde goals. The first, a long range free kick, had both men on the
wall getting out of the ball's way, but he should have done a lot better
from that distance. And the second, after a monumental screw-up by the Uruguayan defense, he was caught way too much off his line and left
H|-lio Varela to finish on an open net.
Having resisted Spain and Uruguay without losing, Cape Verde now faces
Saudi Arabia. A draw might be enough, winning doesn't seem far-fetched,
but of course, while the challenge doesn't seem to be as great as the
two previous games, they should take it very seriously.
Uruguay, otoh, have failed to deal with Saudi Arabia and Cape Verde.
It's hard to imagine them doing anything against Spain, though stranger
things surely have happened.
Best regards,
