Vozinha, who was one of the standout players for Cabo Verde in the 2026 Copa do Mundo, was at fault for Mali's third goal. According to the Globo Esporte Futebol report, Vozinha left his area to try and cut a pass, but failed to reach the ball, allowing Nene Dorgeles to score. The incident was highlighted in the Spanish press, with the newspaper "As" labelling it a "gross error" and a "reality check" for Cabo Verde and Vozinha.
This is not the first time Vozinha has been at fault for a goal. In a recent match for Colo-Colo, he failed to reach a cross, allowing Norman Rodríguez to score. However, Vozinha's performance in the Copa do Mundo was impressive, with 18 defesas in four matches. He was also elected the best jogador of the match against Espanha, and was one of the ten indicados for the Bola de Ouro 2026 best goleiro award.
Vozinha's mistake has been widely reported in the media, with the incident generating memes on social media. The 40-year-old goleiro will be looking to bounce back from this defeat and help Cabo Verde in their African Nations Cup qualifiers.
