Cabo Verde dream continues

Cabo Verde scored their first World Cup goals to remain unbeaten at their maiden finals with a draw in Miami. Kevin Pina's long-range free-kick put the island nation ahead midway through the first half, but Maxi Araújo and Agustín Canobbio turned things around for Uruguay before half-time. Hélio Varela (pictured) got Cabo Verde level again on the hour a minute after coming on as he pounced on a defensive mistake to keep Group G wide open.
