Limited across 80 minutes
Cabral logged one tackle won, a shot not on goal and an inaccurate cross across 80 minutes during Cape Verde's 3-2 loss Friday to Argentina.
Analysis: Cape Verde's starting XI added Cabral, who did not play against either Uruguay or Saudi Arabia. For the World Cup, Friday marked his third tackle won, second shot and first cross. Thereafter, during the game's 80th minute, he was replaced by Helio Varela. Cape Verde excelled both with and without him, the latter recently proven by extra-time heroics against Argentina. Though he may have logged less credit than his more utilized teammates, it is worth noting that Cabral provided pressure-inducing shifts against two of the tournament's top contenders, not only Argentina but also Spain.
Picked for bench
Cabral (undisclosed) is on the bench for Fridya's match against Saudi Arabia.
Analysis: Cabral is back with the team after some issues during a training session, with the attacker now picked for the bench for the group stage finale. He has only been picked for the bench since starting the opener, a bit surprising for the attacker. He could be used as a super-substitute, an experienced attacking option.
