The World Cup continued overnight with two surprising results. Cape Verde, a small island nation, once again caused a sensation by holding Uruguay to a 2-2 draw. Uruguay, a traditional powerhouse from South America, was unable to secure a win against the determined underdogs.

In the later match, Egypt made history. Trailing early, they rallied to defeat New Zealand 3-1. This victory marks the first time Egypt has won a match in the World Cup finals, a milestone for the African team.
