MIAMI, June 21 (Xinhua) -- Cabo Verde is seeking a place in the round of 32 after claiming its second historic draw against a former world champion on Sunday.
The World Cup debutant is on the brink of reaching the knockout stage after following up its improbable goalless draw with 2010 winner Spain by taking a point from two-time champion Uruguay in a pulsating 2-2 draw.
"We're here to compete to try to achieve a new dream, which is to qualify for the second round, and I think it's legitimate to think that way," said Cabo Verde coach Bubista.
Cabo Verde, ranked 63rd in the world, will play its final Group H match against Saudi Arabia, and a victory will ensure qualification.
"We want to show the entire world that we are in the condition to fight for qualification, and I think that's what we showed in today's match," Bubista said. ■
