Amid the 40-year-old veteran’s performance, Brazilians led a campaign that took over his social media.

Before his World Cup debut, he had just under 50,000 followers on Instagram.

After the final whistle, that number surpassed 2.1 million (and it keeps growing).

"This is crazy, this is crazy," Vozinha summed up in an interview with CazéTV, which was behind the follower drive during the match broadcast.

He made seven saves during the match and won the award for best player on the field.

According to Opta, the veteran became the oldest goalkeeper not to concede in his World Cup debut.
