Cape Verde's Josimar 'Vozinha' Dias inspired his team to a goalless draw against Spain in the FIFA World Cup 2026, sending his Instagram followers count from 50,000 to over 4.5 million.
The 40-year-old goalkeeper became the oldest-ever to keep a clean sheet in the tournament and the second-oldest to make his debut.
'I work all my life for this, for this moment, for this dream,' Vozinha said after the match.
Cape Verde's Steven Moreira added that it took him time to understand the enormity of competing with Spain's calibre.
The match saw Cape Verde hold back for the majority of the game, keeping Spain at bay despite earning chances at the goal.
