Cape Verde v Saudi Arabia

Summary

Cape Verde v Saudi Arabia (Kick-off 1.00am). All the action from both teams' third and final Group H match, held at Houston Stadium in the USA. Uruguay and Spain were the two favourites to qualify from this group, but even if both of these sides have failed to collect a point so far, with eight of the 12 third-placed teams qualifying for the last 32, three points here could be enough to see either one of them progress. The only time the Saudis managed to reach the knockout stage was in 1994, when the United States served as hosts, while this is the first time Cape Verde have played in the finals. Both of these sides still have a chance of progressing to the knock-out stages and a victory here may well do the job. Cape Verde are currently third in the group with two points, while Saudi Arabia are bottom with one, but the result in the other game between Spain and Uruguay may affect what happens to these teams
