In a World Cup group stage match, Cape Verde drew 2-2 with Uruguay. After the match, Cape Verde coach Bubista spoke to beIN Sports about the result.
Bubista stated: "I thank the players for their efforts and the fans for their support. The match was very difficult, but I am happy with the result. I want to commend my team's players, because despite the tough game, strong opponents, and injuries we sustained during the match, they showed courage. Uruguay is a great team and created many difficulties for us."
Regarding Cape Verde's first conceded goal, which came when their forward Alcântara was injured and on the ground, Bubista said: "Uruguay's first goal was not fair because they chose to continue playing despite a player being injured on the field."
He added: "We learned about fair play from Uruguay's coach Bielsa, so I don't understand why the Uruguayan players would do that, and I don't understand how this is allowed under the new rules."
Bubista concluded: "I am happy with what we achieved in this match. We have a group of trustworthy players, and we will do our best to win our final match against Saudi Arabia."

Such a biased thing to say .Your players were in possession of the ball twice and refused to put it out of play to tend to your injured player then you expect Uruguay to do it when you didn't ? Common
