They had at least one more great shot on goal too that would have tied it back up.
Also, Cabral running into the stands after his goal to hug his wife (or whoever it was) was super endearing.

I still don't know where it is and am not interested in finding out
I had no idea what his name was but it was in @gnilma's comment.

Yes, the free kick at the 119th minute. The ball was going to sneak in from just under the crossbar, but it got saved by Martinez. I guess that's the type of stuff you get from last world cup's golden glove winner.
The ref didn't look too pleased after Cabral ran into the stands. He did score arguably the goal of the tournament though, so he deserves some slack for delaying the game.

It was not suppose to be this close. The defending champs versus a small island nation with a population of about 500k people. But Cape Verde remained undefeated in regulation and took the champs to extra time. When they got scored on in extra time, they were able to equalize with an amazing goal by Cabral. It was not until the second half of extra time, with 9 minutes left before heading into penalty kicks, that Argentina finally got the goal that will seal their victory. Hats off to Cape Verde for being competitive, for holding their own, and for pushing the defending champs to the brink. I know you missed the game, but at least go catch the highlights on this one. It's a really good one. Man, I love a good underdog story!
