Uruguay vs Cabo Verde - Live Updates
First Half Timeline
- 1' - Kick-off: The Group H encounter is underway from Hard Rock Stadium / Miami Stadium. Cabo Verde stunned the soccer world when grabbing a goalless draw with Spain in their opener. Can they now stand firm against Uruguay, who were held to a draw by Saudi Arabia on Monday?
- 5' - Tackles flying in: Cabo Verde aren't holding back and Sidny Cabral goes in the ref's book for a foul on Juan Manuel Sanabria.
- 10' - Social media hero: Rumours have it that Vozinha's Instagram followers are now clocking at over 15 million since his valiant effort between the sticks against Spain. Imagine how many the Cabo Verde keeper will have if he manages to keep Marcelo Bielsa's boys at bay too.
- 14' - Pressure building: Uruguay coming on strong. Federico Valverde shoots a left-footed effort just wide and shortly after La Celeste grab their third corner of the match already.
- 21' - GOAL! Uruguay 0-1 Cabo Verde (Kevin Pina): WOW !! Miami erupts as Cabo Verde take the lead. Kevin Pina smashes a free-kick past Fernando Muslera. Tottenham's Rodrigo Bentancur gave away the free-kick and was carded too, as a side-note.
- 34' - No response from Uruguay: It's still hard-watching for the Sky Blue supporters in the Miami crowd with no shots on target as yet from their side.
- 44' - GOAL! Uruguay 1-1 Cabo Verde (Maxi Araujo): It's that man again! Maxi Araujo saved Uruguay's blushes with a late goal against Saudi Arabia and he's on the scoresheet again here. He reacts quickest after the ball comes off the post to grab an equaliser.
- 45'+6' - GOAL! Uruguay 2-1 Cabo Verde (Agustín Canobbio): The tide has turned in Miami. Maxi Araujo continues to sparkle and his superb cross finds Agustin Canobbio, who diverts it past Vozinha.
- 45'+6' - Half-Time: The referee brings a sensational first-half to an end in Miami. Uruguay come from behind to grab the lead. Will they push on during the second period or will Cabo Verde rally in the face of adversity once again? Stay tuned to find out.
Second Half Timeline
- 46' - Kick-off: We're underway again at Hard Rock Stadium / Miami Stadium.
- 54' - A mouthwatering match-up may await: The way things are going currently and how the groups stand, there could be huge all South American Round of 32 clash between Uruguay and Argentina in the offing. However, there's still a long way to go before that can be finalised.
- 58' - Yellow for Uruguay: Mathías Olivera is carded as he cynically pulls Gilson Benchimol back as he was about to burst clear on goal. Benchimol is subsequently benched (replaced by Nuno da Costa) and the free-kick opportunity is wasted.
- 61'- GOAL! Uruguay 2-2 Cabo Verde (Hélio Varela): No they aren't done yet! The Miami Stadium erupts once again as Cabo Verde capitalise on a terrible blunder in the Uruguay defence. A composed Hélio Varela touches the ball past the keeper and guides it home.
- 70' - Araujo denied: Maxi Araujo thinks he may have scrambled the ball home for Uruguay, but the flag goes up and the goal is disallowed. Following that confusion, Darwin Núñez comes on for Federico Viñas.
- 78' - Cabo Verde showing no fear: It's the soccer minnows who are looking more likely to grab a winner in Miami. They are attacking positively and Uruguay are looking anxious.
- 87' - A tough one awaits Uruguay: The South Americans know how important a victory is here as up next, it's Spain on Saturday in Mexico. While Cabo Verde face Saudi Arabia in Houston.
- 90' - Cabo Verde fans can't watch: Uruguay are awarded a free-kick just inside the D, just outside the box. However, the effort from Real Madrid's Federico Valverde whistles over the bar. Close, but not close enough.
- 90'+8' - Full-Time: The epic encounter in Miami comes to an end and it's honours even. The Cabo Verde World Cup dream continues, while Uruguay's looks in disarray.

Can I watch Uruguay vs Cabo Verde for free?
Yes, you can absolutely watch the Uruguay vs. Cape Verde match for free, and your best option depends on whether you prefer a traditional television setup or a digital broadcast. If you want to watch the action on a living room television, the simplest approach is using an Over-the-Air (OTA) digital antenna. A basic antenna is a cheap, one-time purchase that pulls in major local broadcast networks completely free of charge. This will allow you to watch the Spanish-language broadcast on Telemundo without ever paying a cable bill.
Because the match is being shown on FS1 rather than your local FOX affiliate, you can leverage short-term digital loopholes in order to watch the game for free instead. Premium live-TV streaming services like Fubo and the DirecTV Stream both currently offer excellent 5-day free trials for new subscribers. Both platforms carry full access to localized FOX and Telemundo feeds alongside cable-exclusives like FS1 and Universo, allowing you to stream the match in crisp high-definition without spending a dime.
Uruguay vs Cabo Verde Match Preview
Uruguay and Cabo Verde meet at Miami Stadium in a Group H clash that carries serious weight for both sides at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. With the knockout rounds beginning to take shape, neither team can afford to drop points if they want to control their own destiny heading into the final matchday.
Uruguay opened their campaign with a 1-1 draw against Saudi Arabia, a result that left Marcelo Bielsa's side needing a response. La Celeste have the quality to go deep in this tournament, but they have yet to hit their stride, and a second consecutive draw would leave their progression hanging by a thread.
Cabo Verde, meanwhile, produced one of the tournament's most compelling performances in their opener. The Blue Sharks held Spain to a goalless draw in Atlanta, a result that sent shockwaves through Group H and announced their arrival on the world stage in emphatic fashion.
Goalkeeper Vozinha was the standout figure in that Spain game, delivering a heroic display at 40 years old. The veteran shot-stopper has become the emotional heart of this Cabo Verde squad, and his form will be tested again against a Uruguay attack built around the dynamism of Federico Valverde.
Coach Bubista has drilled his side to defend with structure and hit teams on the counter, a system that proved devastatingly effective against Spain. Whether that same approach can unlock a Uruguay side desperate to win is the central tactical question of this fixture.
Bielsa, as ever, will demand more from his players. Uruguay's midfield engine and attacking options give them the tools to break down a deep defensive block, but they will need to be patient and precise.

Form
Uruguay head into this match with one win, three draws, and one defeat across their last five outings. Their most recent result was a 1-1 draw with Saudi Arabia in their World Cup opener on June 15, a match that reflected their inconsistency in front of goal. Earlier in the year, they drew 1-1 with England and shared a goalless stalemate with Algeria in friendlies. The low point of that run was a 5-1 defeat to the United States in November 2025, a result that underlined the work still required under Bielsa.
Darwin Núñez struggled to impact the opener and was taken off at halftime for Federico Viñas. Viñas' physicality completely transformed the frontline, leaving Bielsa with a massive choice regarding who spearheads the attack against a stubborn defense.
For Cabo Verde, 40-year-old goalkeeper Vozinha became an overnight global sensation after making 7 massive saves to deny Spain. In a major emotional boost for the squad, his mother was granted a last-minute US visa and has arrived in Miami to watch him play live.
Head coach Bubista has a fully fit squad with no fresh injury concerns. He is expected to roll out the exact same deeply disciplined defensive block that frustrated the Spanish side.
