World Cup 2026: Vozinha Named Man of the Match After Historic Performance Against Spain
Vozinha was deservedly named Man of the Match after producing a sensational goalkeeping display in Cape Verde's historic 0-0 draw with Spain at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The World Cup debutants stunned one of the tournament favourites by holding Spain to a goalless draw in Atlanta, securing the first World Cup point in Cape Verde's history.
Vozinha was the standout performer on the night, making seven crucial saves to keep the Spanish attack at bay. The veteran goalkeeper's heroics also saw him become the oldest goalkeeper ever to keep a clean sheet on his FIFA World Cup debut.
His outstanding performance played a key role in one of the biggest upsets of the tournament so far and earned him the Man of the Match award.
