## Resource

Cape Verde’s World Cup debut ended in heartbreak but delivered unforgettable drama as they stunned Argentina in a 3-2 extra-time thriller, pushing Lionel Messi’s squad to the brink. Making their first-ever tournament appearance, the underdogs drew with Spain and two more teams to reach the knockout stage — a Cinderella run led by 40-year-old goalkeeper Vozinha, who made heroic saves including against Messi himself, all while hoping his mom could witness his dream. Though they fell short, Cape Verde earned global respect for their grit, skill, and unity, proving they belong on the world stage and setting their sights on future battles with the giants.
