Sidny Cabral impresses for Cape Verde despite Chile setback | OneFootball

Sidny Cabral impressed for Cape Verde despite a 4-2 defeat to Chile. The Benfica winter signing stood out for the Blue Sharks.

According to Glorioso 1904, the 23-year-old was called up as the team prepare for the World Cup.

He set up the opener, then finished a slick team move to put Cape Verde 2-1 ahead, underlining his threat from full-back or the wing.

The strike ended a near two-month wait for a goal. He had not scored since 18 January, when Benfica beat Estrela da Amadora 4-0.

Cabral also went close to a month without playing for Benfica after a controversy sparked by his request for Vinicius Jr’s shirt.

Across this season for Estrela da Amadora and Benfica, he has 28 appearances, 23 in Liga Portugal Betclic, two in the Champions League, two in the Taça de Portugal and one in the Taça da Liga. In 1,835 minutes he has six goals and six assists, and he is valued at 5 million euros.
