Look at this, Benfica! Sidny Cabral making waves for Cape Verde | OneFootball

Sidny Cabral had reasons to smile again in recent days. Called up to the Cape Verde national team, which is preparing for its participation in the World Cup, the Benfica player was the standout figure for the Blue Sharks, despite the 4-2 defeat to Chile.

The full-back/winger, who signed for Benfica in the winter transfer window, made his mark by scoring the goal that had put Cape Verde ahead, finishing superbly after a team move created by the African side to make it 2-1 at the time.

It is worth mentioning that the 23-year-old footballer - who recently returned to Mourinho’s plans - had already provided the assist for Cape Verde’s first goal. Despite the defeat suffered by the Blue Sharks, Sidny Cabral had reasons to smile, as he had not scored for almost two months.

It should be remembered that Sidny Cabral had not found the net since January 18, when Benfica had thrashed Estrela da Amadora 4-0. In addition, the 23-year-old footballer went almost a month without playing for Benfica after being involved in a controversial incident by asking Vinicius Jr. for his shirt.

This season, playing for both Estrela da Amadora and Benfica, Sidny Cabral - valued at €5 million - has already made a total of 28 official appearances: 23 in the Liga Portugal Betclic, two in the Champions League, two in the Portuguese Cup and one in the League Cup. In the 1,835 minutes he has been on the pitch, the player has recorded six goals and six assists.
