Cape Verde fall to Argentina in extra time, Uruguay's group exit stings

Argentina needed extra time to survive Cape Verde 3–2 in the World Cup round of 16 on Friday (1). A Sidny Lopes Cabral own goal deep in extra time finally broke Cape Verde, who had pushed the reigning champions all the way. The same Cape Verde side went unbeaten through Uruguay's group, which puts your team's group-stage exit into an even harsher light. Marcelo Bielsa returned to Montevideo alone, with dressing-room fractures and a two-point campaign still raw. José María Giménez never saw the pitch, a tournament where nothing fit.
