Uruguay v Cape Verde

Summary

Uruguay v Cape Verde (Kick-off 11.00pm). Alex Scott presents all the action from both teams' second match in Group H, held at Miami Stadium in the USA. Uruguay bounced back from the disappointment of an early elimination four years ago in Qatar, to some extent, by finishing third in the 2024 Copa America, staged in the United States, and came into the tournament fancied to qualify from this group alongside Spain. Cape Verde are something of an unknown quantity as this is the first World Cup finals they have qualified for and this is their first meeting with today's opponents, but this competition has a long history of minnows upsetting the odds in the early stages, and the African outfit will be determined to make an impact. They started off their tournament with a surprise 0-0 draw against current European Champions Spain on Monday, while Uruguay held Saudi Arabia to a 1-1 draw. With analysis from Ashley Williams and Benni McCarthy
