    By IANS News June 27, 2026 • 10:26 AM View: 726

    Cape Verde scripted history by reaching the FIFA World Cup knockout stage on their tournament debut after a goalless draw against Saudi Arabia secured second place in Group H and a last-32 clash with defending champions Argentina.

    The Blue Sharks secured the second spot in the group with three points, one clear of two-time winners Uruguay and 2034 World Cup hosts Saudi Arabia, to cap a memorable group stage run which they completed undefeated. They now play the star-studded Argentine side of Lionel Messi at Miami Stadium on Thursday, 3 July in what should be the most important match in their country's football history. Cape Verde appeared to be the more threatening team, coming closest to opening the scoring.
