Named among world’s best keepers, Vozinha blunders for Colo-Colo 📹 | OneFootball

Cape Verdean goalkeeper Vozinha let in a howler for Colo-Colo this Sunday (13) in the Chilean Championship.

Ironically, the incident happened in the same week that the player was nominated by France Football magazine for the world’s best goalkeeper award at the Ballon d’Or, thanks to his performances at the World Cup.

In the 11th minute of the first half, during a right-sided corner for Deportes Concepción, Vozinha tried to punch the cross clear but mistimed it and failed to stop Norman Rodriguez’s header, which opened the scoring for the visitors.

To the relief of the breakout goalkeeper from the last FIFA World Cup, Colo-Colo managed to respond in the second half, and the match ended in a 1-1 draw.

This was not Vozinha’s first blunder in recent days. In the previous week’s match against Huachipato, the goalkeeper had already made a mistake while trying to intercept a cross, fumbling on the rebound, but was fortunate not to concede on that occasion.

Post-World Cup Record

Signed by the Chilean team in August after standing out at the World Cup, Vozinha had been on an unbeaten run at the club: this was the first goal he had conceded in three matches for Colo-Colo.

Before this weekend’s clash, the last time he had been beaten was in Cape Verde’s 3-2 loss to Argentina in the World Cup knockout stage (from an own goal by Diney Borges).
