4 Takeaways As Cape Verde Seals Knockout Stage Spot With Draw vs. Saudi Arabia

Cape Verde reached the World Cup knockout stage in its tournament debut after three straight draws, including a 0-0 with Saudi Arabia — goalkeeper Vozinha has two clean sheets.
Their group was dramatic: a thrilling 0-0 vs Spain (Vozinha the hero) and a 2-2 vs Uruguay that included Cape Verde’s first-ever World Cup goal from Kevin Pina.
Next up is a monumental test — likely Argentina and Lionel Messi — a tight, defensive game or penalties could be their best chance; also notable that four African teams reached the last 16.
