Vozinha among oldest stars in World Cup history

Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha became one of the stories of the tournament despite playing in a 0-0 draw.

He made seven crucial saves to keep out European champions Spain in Cape Verde’s World Cup debut – and also set some records himself.

At 40 years and 12 days, he became the oldest player to appear in a nation’s debut World Cup match, surpassing the record set by Curacao’s Eloy Room.
