Sidny Cabral produced a moment of extraordinary quality in extra time on Friday night, smashing home a stunning equaliser that dragged Cape Verde level with Argentina for a second time in Miami. The goal, described by onlookers as incredible, kept the underdogs' World Cup dream alive against the two-time champions.
Earlier, Egypt had secured their place in the last-16 after a tense penalty shootout against Australia. The match finished 1-1 after 120 minutes, with Hossam Abdelmaguid stepping up to send the Pharaohs through 4-2 from the spot. They now await the winner of Argentina vs Cape Verde, a tie that remained unresolved after Cabral's late intervention.
