Cape Verdean goalkeeper Vozinha has seen a massive surge in his social media following after his standout performance against Spain at the World Cup. The match ended in a goalless draw, with the 40-year-old shot-stopper making seven crucial saves and earning the Man of the Match award.

Before the game, he had 46,000 followers, but after the clash with Spain, his follower count skyrocketed to 1.6 million. 

"It was a great match. We worked incredibly hard for this moment and this dream. We are very proud. We knew it wouldn't be easy. We came to the World Cup to compete. I know some people think we are a small and weak team, but we are here to fight and give our all," Vozinha shared after the game.

The veteran keeper currently plays for Chaves in the Portuguese second division. His contract expires on June 30th, making him a free agent. Prior to Chaves, Vozinha has played for AEL Limassol, Trenčín, Zimbru, and Gil Vicente.
