🧠 Match Summary

vs

Uruguay dominated possession with 65% and fired 17 shots in Miami, yet it was Cape Verde who proved more clinical, with Kevin Pina opening the scoring in the 21st minute and Hélio Varela restoring their lead after the break in the 61st. Uruguay rallied twice in dramatic fashion — Maxi Araújo pulling level just before half-time in the 44th minute, before Agustín Cano snatched a stunning equalizer deep into first-half stoppage time at 45+6'. Despite outshooting Cape Verde and earning 11 corners, Uruguay's wastefulness in front of goal was glaring, managing only 2 shots on target compared to Cape Verde's 4, as the Blue Sharks claimed a hard-earned point in Group H.
