🎥 Who's cutting onions? This is the World Cup's most emotional moment | OneFootball

How thrilled the footballers from Cape Verde have made us over the past three weeks!

The Africans marched through the group stage unbeaten, held Spain to a sensational 0-0 draw, and qualified for the knockout round ahead of two-time world champions Uruguay.

As if that weren’t enough, the small Atlantic island nation went one better in the round of 32 against defending champions Argentina. The team led by cult goalkeeper Vozinha had Lionel Messi and Co. on the brink of defeat and only lost in dramatic fashion, 2-3 after extra time.

What this wild ride had done to the Cape Verdean players became clear after the final whistle. The TV cameras captured a moment that could go down in the history of this World Cup as perhaps the most emotional of all.

Sidny Lopes Cabral, who had made it 2-2 in the meantime with an absolute wonder goal, was standing there in tears as he was comforted by his partner and his son. Both were crying just as hard, but they were as supportive as anyone could possibly wish for.

What a moment!
