Cape Verde has completed an improbable run through the group stage with a third straight World Cup draw.
It's the smallest-ever country to earn a spot in the knockout round ... following a scoreless tie against Saudi Arabia.
Its three draws were enough to earn it second place after Spain in Group H.
Spain won its match against Uruguay 1-0.
Earlier, France pummeled Norway 4-1. Mbappe was scoreless, but he had two assists as teammate Dembele scored three goals in the first half. Both teams advance to the knockout round.
Senegal beat Iraq 5-nil and could face England in tournament play.
