Source Summary
The match between Argentina and Cape Verde will be remembered over the years. If the World Cups are exciting, it is because of matches like these, when logic breaks down, when anything can happen. On a humid and sticky night in Miami, modest Cape Verde came within a whisker of eliminating Argentina in a match decided in overtime where anything went. Goals, blows, and a player climbing into the stands. Finally, the reigning champions managed to survive after a very demanding duel against a Cape Verde team that heads home with their heads held high, having become one of the most beautiful stories of the tournament. Nobody knew them and now everyone admires them.
