When former Peace Corps volunteer Jill Tucker went to a party to cheer for Cape Verde, where she had worked as a teacher, she discovered the man who organized the event had been one of her students more than 30 years ago. NBC News’ Hallie Jackson speaks with Tucker and Ivan Silva about their reunion.

That’s the final whistle and the game is over at nil-nil!

In the final minute of stoppage time, Cape Verde missed an agonizing last-second shot but still claimed a point!

But the fairy tale for Cape Verde continues, as they’re on into the knockouts!!!

One of this tournament’s favorite underdogs, they’ve clinched the second-place spot in the group H standings and will go on to the round of 32. 

Cape Verde came onto the international stage with a thrilling show — shocking the world with its 0-0 draw against Spain, where Vozinha was catapulted into sports stardom for stonewalling the Spanish, and on to its 2-2 stalemate with Uruguay. 

It’s been a tough tournament for Saudi Arabia, which lost 4-0 Spain and had a 1-1 draw with Uruguay. 

Spain advances, Uruguay is headed home

Spain won 1-0, winning the group while Uruguay is exiting the World Cup in the group stage for the second consecutive time.

Uruguay registers its first shot on target

Save by Saudi Arabia!

In the 74th minute, Cape Verde is hungry for a goal!

Cape Verde ran the ball downfield, it cuts right to midfielder Laros Duarte, who was just subbed on three minutes prior. Duarte rockets it from the right of the box, and Mohammed Al-Owais leaps forward to block it.

Woah! Close call as Vozinha saves Saudi shot

Saudi Arabia’s Mohammed Abu Al-Shamat fires right-footed shot from the right of the box that soars to the left upper corner of the goal. Vozinha jumps for it, doesn’t get a grip, and it bounces on the grass. But he recovers and catches it.

Uruguay still hasn’t take a shot on goal

At the second half hydration break, Uruguay needs a goal, or else its World Cup is over. They are losing 1-0 to Spain and Cape Verde is tied with Saudi Arabia, 0-0. If the results hold, Uruguay will finish in third place with just two points.

Big chances for Cape Verde

Big chance for Jamiro Monteiro in the 48th minute with a shot at the center of the box, but it’s saved by Saudi goalkeeper Mohammed Al-Owais

Uruguay registers its first shot on target

In the 85th minute, Uruguay’s Nicolás de la Cruz took a blast from distance that Spanish keeper Unai Simón handled easily. Just moments later, Spain had a chance to seal the win when striker Ferran Torres’ shot hit the crossbar.
