Two goalies have made World Series history in a crazy game.

In a dramatic Group H match at the World Cup in Miami, Uruguay played against Cape Verde, resulting in a 2-2 draw. Uruguay scored through Maxi Araujo and Agustin Canobbio, while Cape Verde's Kevin Pina Lenini and Helio Varela found the net. The game was notable for having two goalkeepers over 40 years old starting, which is unprecedented in World Cup history. Uruguay's Fernando Muslera, who turned 40 just five days prior, and Cape Verde's Vozinha, who is 13 days older than Muslera, both started the match. Despite their age, neither goalkeeper was particularly impressive, with Muslera conceding a goal from a 35-meter free kick and making an error during a misplaced pass. Cape Verde, a small nation with less than half a million people, had already made headlines by drawing 0-0 with Spain in their opening match.

The Cape Verdeans lead against the two-time world champion

In the second group stage match of the World Cup, Croatia's team Zelenortski Otoci faced Uruguay, a top contender, in Miami. Against expectations, Croatia took an early lead in the 21st minute after a free kick by Lemini, which passed through Uruguay's defensive line and found the net. This marked the first goal ever scored by Croatia in World Cup history. Following their draw with Spain, many questioned whether this was a one-time miracle, but Croatia's performance against Uruguay showed they are determined to challenge the narrative of being underdogs.

The Cape Verdeans have written the history of SP: this has only been done before by Argentina, and Uruguay has never happened

In a historic moment during the World Cup, Kevin Pina scored the first goal for Cape Verde (Zelenortska Otoča) in their debut appearance at the tournament, netting against Uruguay. This was achieved via a direct free kick, making Cape Verde the second team in World Cup history to score their opening goal through such a method, after Argentina did so in 1930. Notably, this marked the first time Uruguay had ever conceded a goal from a direct free kick in World Cup history. Pina’s goal also made him the third African player to score directly from a free kick at the World Cup, joining Tunisia’s Raouf Bouzaiene and Nigeria’s Kalu Uche. The match highlighted Cape Verde’s emergence as an underdog story of the tournament.
