Cape Verde Exit World Cup After Extra-Time Thriller

Cape Verde's historic World Cup journey came to a heartbreaking end after a dramatic 3-2 defeat to Argentina.

Cape Verde exited the World Cup after pushing defending champions Argentina all the way in a thrilling 3-2 extra-time defeat in Miami.

Lionel Messi gave Argentina the lead before Deroy Duarte levelled in the second half to force extra time.

Lisandro Martínez restored Argentina's advantage, only for Sidny Lopes Cabral to produce a stunning long-range equaliser for the tournament debutants.

Argentina eventually found the winner when an unfortunate own goal from Diney Borges settled the contest, ending Cape Verde's memorable run.

Shamrock Rovers captain Pico Lopes impressed once again in defence, producing a number of vital interventions as Cape Verde earned widespread praise despite their exit.
