Cabo Verde Beats Serbia 3-0, Sends Warning to Spain Ahead of World Cup
Cabo Verde stunned Serbia with a 3-0 win in a Lisbon friendly, showcasing their rising form ahead of the World Cup. Ranked 69th by FIFA, the side relied on swift counter‑attacks, and Kevin Lenini opened the scoring in the 11th minute.
A well‑timed run down the right by veteran Ryan Mendes set up Lenini’s left‑foot finish. The result sends a clear warning to Spain, who face Cabo Verde on June 15 in their opening World Cup match.
Although Serbia will miss the tournament, the defeat underlines Cabo Verde’s momentum.
