Six days after Cape Verde secured a scarcely believable 0-0 draw against the pre-tournament favourites Spain, they were at it again, this time drawing 2-2 with Uruguay in Miami.In their first-ever appearance at a World Cup, they have taken points off two teams that have won the tournament three times between them (Spain in 2010 and Uruguay in 1930 and 1950).Cape Verde scored their first-ever goal to take the lead at Hard Rock Stadium, when Kevin Pina’s 35-yard free kick found the net after some dreadful defending from Uruguay. The ball squeezed between a gap in their two-man defensive wall at the set piece, and then bounced beyond the Uruguay goalkeeper Fernando Muslera.Uruguay hit back with two goals late in the first half, through Maximiliano Araujo and Agustin Canobbio, and it looked as if Marcelo Bielsa’s side would strengthen their grip on the game after the break.But then another bizarre passage of play helped Cape Verde draw level, as Muslera was caught miles off his line and Helio Valera volleyed the ball into an empty net.Remarkably, the draw gives Cape Verde a 67 percent chance of reaching the knockout round, as per The Athletic’s forecast model, while Uruguay have just a 35 percent chance of advancing.Uruguay have a tough fixture against Spain in their final group game on June 26, while Cape Verde face Saudi Arabia.Dan Sheldon and Sergio Gonzalez analyse the key talking points in Miami…What on earth happened for Cape Verde’s opening goal?As Pina turned and sprinted to the other end of the pitch to celebrate scoring a free kick from long range, you could be forgiven for thinking what must be going through Bielsa’s mind.Muslera had set his wall and, given the distance between the ball and the back of his net, he almost certainly would not have been thinking the ball was going to find its way past him.But as Pina struck the free kick, which did not climb above knee height, the Uruguay wall did the opposite of what it is supposed to do.Instead of standing there and taking the hit, the players split right down the middle, creating a lovely gap for the ball to zip past them and towards Muslera, who arguably could have done better with the save.Muslera reacted late, but should be given some leeway as the ball went into the one spot his wall should have protected.Irrespective of how Pina’s strike found its way to the back of the net, it was an electric moment inside the Miami Stadium as the thousands of Cape Verde fans leapt out of their seats and could not hide their joy.Dan SheldonAnd what about their second one?Sometimes one gift just isn’t enough.So, when Mathias Olivera played a terrible attempted pass towards his centre-half, coupled by Muslera needlessly sprinting so far out of his box to intercept it, Valera could not believe his luck.The second-half substitute, who had not long been on the pitch, took one touch to take it past Muslera, before volleying it into an empty net from distance.A moment of collective madness at the back from Uruguay, however, should not overshadow just how great Valera’s touch and finish were. He stayed calm in the chaos.And if the scenes following Pina’s goal were something to behold, then the reaction to Cape Verde’s second was even better. All of the substitutes sprinted down to the corner to celebrate in front of a pocket of supporters who did not stop singing and waving their flags from the first minute to the last.
