Cape Verde is on the verge of making history at the World Cup, needing only a win against Saudi Arabia to secure a place in the round of 32. After courageous draws in Group H against Spain and Uruguay, the African representatives are full of confidence, aiming to turn their first appearance at the world's biggest tournament into a modern-day fairy tale.

Bubista's team has just replicated Senegal's 2002 record by becoming the first newly promoted team to remain undefeated in their first two matches. However, they will enter the decisive match at the NRG Stadium at 7:00 AM on June 27th with significant personnel losses.

Left-back Sidney Lopes Cabral is suspended, while midfielder Telmo Arcajo is injured. Nevertheless, a well-organized defense and high morale after the 2-2 draw against Uruguay on June 22nd provide a solid foundation for Cape Verde.
