'Moment of the World Cup'... Watch Cape Verde score an absolute screamer against Argentina

Cape Verde have just hit the back of the net with an absolutely outrageous goal against Argentina.

The fans in attendance at Miami Stadium in Miami, Florida, USA, can’t quite believe what they’ve witnessed this evening.

Sidny Lopes Cabral scores amazing goal for Cape Verde

Through draws against Spain, Uruguay and Saudi Arabia, Cape Verde has won the hearts of football fans from around the world. However, tonight their fairytale run was expected to come crashing down around them in the form of a dominant Argentina win.

However, the underdogs were about to put on one of the most commendable performances in the history of the tournament. After going down early via Lionel Messi, Cape Verde battled back with Deroy Duarte scoring a beautiful goal.

The amazing strike was enough to get the game to extra time, where Lisandro Martinez beat the goalkeeper to put his side back into the lead. But somehow, Cape Verde wasn’t done, with Sidny Lopes Cabral striking the ball with outrageous power and precision from just inside the box to send his effort flying past Emiliano Martínez to give the crowd something to really celebrate.

Football enthusiasts were quick to head to social media to react to the finish, with one, saying: “That’s the moment of the World Cup.” Another added: “Sidny Lopes Cabral. Remember the name. This is historic.”

At this point, there was a real sense that the utterly unthinkable could be about to transpire. Alas, the dream was put to bed once and for all when a corner came off Diney and into the back of his own net.

While Cape Verde is no longer in the tournament, nobody will ever forget what they brought to the competition.
