Uruguay vs. Cape Verde Highlights: Uruguay Drop Points As Cape Verde Dream Continues
Updated: Jun 21, 2026 - 8:31 PM ET
Uruguay suffered another disappointing result, dropping points again in a fixture it was fully expected to secure three points in, this time against Cape Verde in a 2-2 draw.
Two crucial mistakes from Muslera on both goals, along with a mistake from Olivera on the second, help do Uruguay in as it now enters Matchday 3 more likely than not needing a victory against Spain.
For Cape Verde, it is elation for the debutants, who have now earned points against Spain and Uruguay. A team making its World Cup debut has taken two points off two former World Cup champions. It now has everything to play for in its final group-stage match against Saudi Arabia.
Here are the top plays from Uruguay vs. Cape Verde:
