Cape Verde Reach World Cup Knockout Stage With Lopes Involved

Shamrock Rovers defender Pico Lopes has helped Cape Verde make history as they reach the World Cup knockout stages.

Cape Verde booked their place in the World Cup last 32 after a 0-0 draw with Saudi Arabia, becoming the smallest nation ever to reach the knockout stage of the tournament.

Shamrock Rovers defender Rico Lopes featured as Cape Verde secured the point they needed to finish second in Group H behind Spain.

Both sides created few clear chances, with Cape Verde going closest through Jamiro Monteiro, Wagner Pina, and Nuno da Costo.

The result sets up a last-32 meeting with Argentina on Friday the 3rd of July.
