Cape Verde is a small island with a population of just over 500,000. Even in extra time, this team outplayed Argentina, and at one point, the match was tied 2-2 until the final minutes. However, Argentina avoided an upset, winning 3-2 to advance to the Round of 16.

Photos and videos of Nuna da Costa, his wife, and son are being widely shared on social media. These images have touched the hearts of football fans worldwide. Cape Verde was undefeated in the group stage, but it also didn't win a single match. In fact, it secured a spot in the Round of 32 by holding three heavyweight teams- Spain, Uruguay, and Saudi Arabia to draws.
