Cape Verde‘s Sidny ​Lopes Cabral warned Uruguay that their historic draw with Spain has given the tournament debutants “more trust in ourselves”.

An outstanding defensive performance and a memorable showing from goalkeeper Vozinha saw Cape Verde hold the European champions to a goalless draw to secure their first World Cup point.

They are likely to be given little chance of repeating the feat against Uruguay, but full-back Cabral made it clear Cape Verde are aiming high and are not simply content with their memorable result against Spain.

Asked if the opening draw had given Cape Verde more hope, Cabral replied: “Not hope.

“Before we came here, we had the goal. The goal is to go through the group phase. ​So this game gave us more power, more trust in ourselves.

“We know our qualities and we know what we do.”

Uruguay missed the chance to take advantage of Spain’s slip up and take control of Group H.

Marcelo Bielsa’s men had to come from behind to claim a point in their first game as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Saudi Arabia.

Maxi Araujo’s 80th-minute equaliser ensured a share of the spoils, but Uruguay’s performance means there remains significant pressure on Bielsa to turn around their underwhelming form.

And with the two-time champions set to face Spain in their final group stage game, Uruguay have no room for error as they seek to avoid a shock result that would leave them staring an early exit in the face.
