Mother of Cape Verde's Sensational Goalkeeper Vozinha Arrives in Miami

The remarkable journey of Cape Verdean goalkeeper Vozinha at the FIFA World Cup took another emotional turn on Friday as his mother arrived in Miami, having secured a US visa, Reuters reports. This will allow her to watch her son play against Uruguay on Sunday.

Ana Candida Evora traveled from Praia, Cape Verde's capital, after the US State Department granted her a visa following Vozinha's poignant interview after the 0-0 draw against European champions Spain. The 40-year-old goalkeeper was named Man of the Match after the encounter.

Vozinha openly expressed his joy that his mother would finally be able to watch him play live at the World Cup.
