Cape Verde made history by reaching the knockout stage of the FIFA World Cup for the first time, following a draw with Saudi Arabia. The result secured their place in the round of 16, where they will face Argentina.
Coach Bubista made several changes to the starting lineup, some enforced, but retained veteran goalkeeper Vozinha, who has been a key figure in the team's campaign. The 40-year-old's experience proved vital in the decisive group match.
Meanwhile, Spain will face the runner-up from Group J, which will be either Algeria or Austria, in their round of 16 clash.
