Deroy Duarte scored for Cape Verde against Argentina in their Round of 32 matches at the 2026 FIFA World Cup on Friday to make it 1-1.

Lionel Messi had found the opener in the first half after collecting a pass from long range and scoring from close range.

What happens if Argentina vs Cape Verde ends in a draw after 90 minutes?
