Updated: Jul 03, 2026 - 8:59 PM ET
Argentina has booked a spot in the round of 16, while ending the incredible journey of the World Cup debutants, Cape Verde.
Goals from Lionel Messi, Lisandro Martínez and finally, an own goal late sealed the victory for La Albiceleste. Cape Verde equalized twice, with goals from Deroy Duarte and Sidny Cabral Lopes (the latter you have to see to believe), but it wasn't enough to dethrone the defending champions.
Here are the top plays from Argentina vs. Cape Verde:
