NATIONAL TEAM - CAPE VERDE - FRIENDLY - Cape Verde stun Portugal

AFRICA CUP 2015

 

• Cape Verde vs Portugal 2:0

 

Ten-man Portugal struggled without captain Cristiano Ronaldo as they fell to a surprise defeat in a friendly at home to the Cape Verde Islands.

Portugal are top of their qualifying group for Euro 2016 but rested Ronaldo against the African side, who are ranked 38th in the world.

Odair Fortes put Cape Verde ahead before Admilson Gege doubled their lead after the break.

The hosts also had defender Andre Pinto sent off after an hour.

Cape Verde - eliminated at the group stage of this year's Africa Cup of Nations - are sandwiched between Wales and Scotland in Fifa's world rankings.

The Islands are situated in the Atlantic Ocean, roughly 400 miles west of Senegal in west Africa.
