Cape Verde make history, reach 2026 World Cup, Sporting star dreams | OneFootball

Cape Verde sealed, on the afternoon of this Monday, October 13, their unprecedented qualification for the 2026 World Cup, by defeating Eswatini at home (3-0), in the tenth and final round of Group D. Jovane Cabral, a footballer who was a champion with Sporting, will likely be called up for the competition, despite not being selected for this international break due to injury.

In the most dangerous moment of the first half, Dailon Livramento sparked celebrations at the National Stadium to bursting point, but it was nothing more than an optical illusion. After a good exchange with Yannick Semedo through the central corridor, the Casa Pia striker’s shot skimmed the net from the outside.

A few minutes later, in a move largely identical to the opening goal, Willie Semedo increased the score and put an end to any doubts. In summary, there were 10 matches played, seven wins, two draws, one loss, 16 goals scored, and eight conceded,

For Sporting, Jovane Cabral – who recently gave a ‘gift’ to Cristiano Ronaldo – played 107 matches, in which he scored 21 goals and provided 14 assists for his teammates. It’s worth remembering that the athlete won six titles with the Lions: one National Championship (2020/21), one Portuguese Cup (2018/19), three League Cups (2018/19, 2020/21, and 2021/22), and one Super Cup (2021).
