Miami. Cape Verde produced another spirited performance to hold Uruguay to a 2-2 draw in their second Group H World Cup match on Sunday, as the tournament debutants matched the South American heavyweights in an entertaining encounter.

Cape Verde, who had earlier drawn 0-0 with Spain in their opening fixture, took a surprise lead in the 21st minute.

Telmo Arcanjo won a free kick after a driving run, before Kevin Pina stepped up to fire a low effort from 31 metres past the goalkeeper for his country’s first-ever goal at a World Cup finals.
