Shocking? 40-year-old Cape Verde goalkeeper makes 18 saves in 4 matches! Chasing two legends, with 1 dribble this tournament surpassing Cristiano Ronaldo

In a key Round of 16 match of the World Cup that ended on July 4th, Beijing time, African newcomers Cape Verde suffered a narrow 2-3 defeat to defending champions Argentina, missing out on a spot in the last 16. Despite failing to create more history, Cape Verde's World Cup campaign left a strong impression, notably due to their 40-year-old goalkeeper Vozinha.【Watch the World Cup on Migu Video】

In this match, Vozinha continued his excellent form from the group stage, making 8 saves throughout the game, including denying two threatening free-kick "surprise attacks" and a one-on-one goal from the Argentine captain.

Not only did he make remarkable saves, but Vozinha also showcased his footwork on multiple occasions, with his dribble past Lautaro Martínez becoming a iconic moment.

According to post-match statistics, Vozinha made 8 saves in this match, along with 8 long passes, earning the highest score on his team at 8.4. Additionally, his 1 dribble surpassed that of Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, who has yet to complete a dribble in this World Cup.

After bidding farewell to the World Cup with pride, Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha finished the tournament with 18 saves in 4 matches, including 7 against Spain and 8 against Argentina.

In World Cup history, only two goalkeepers over 40 have made more saves in a single tournament: Peter Shilton (28 in 1990) and Dino Zoff (27 in 1982).

Unbelievably, Vozinha is currently a free agent. After his epic World Cup journey, he might receive job offers soon.
