Josimar Jose Evora Dias, known as Vozinha, is a 40-year-old Cape Verde goalkeeper who has become a global sensation after orchestrating one of the greatest upsets in World Cup history.
On Monday, Vozinha made seven crucial saves as his Cape Verde team held a star-studded Spain to a historic 0-0 draw in their FIFA World Cup debut, earning him the Man of the Match award.
Cape Verde, the third-smallest country to ever qualify for the World Cup, dominated the Group H opener in Atlanta with 74% possession and an xG of 2.29 compared to Cape Verde's 0.29.
However, Vozinha was a brick wall in goal and a rallying leader of a dogged defence that earned their country their first-ever World Cup point.
His Instagram following skyrocketed almost a hundred times, from 50,000 before the match to 5.8 million at the time of writing.
Vozinha's name will forever be etched in World Cup folklore, and his future in football remains uncertain as his club contract expires in just two weeks.
