Vozinha, the Cape Verdean goalkeeper who stood out for the Cape Verde national team in the qualification phase for the 2026 World Cup, is now facing a difficult time at his new club. The keeper recently transferred to Colo-Colo in Chile, a move that generated expectations among the Chilean club's fans.
The Cape Verde international conceded his first goal while playing for Colo-Colo, marking his first less positive defensive display for the South American club. The moment occurred in his first official match for the Chilean team, where he was unable to keep a clean sheet as he had frequently done for his country's national team.
The criticism did not take long to emerge after the concession of the first goal. Fans and analysts began questioning the goalkeeper's ability to adapt to Chilean football, which presents different characteristics from African football where Vozinha was accustomed to shining.
Despite the recent criticism, Vozinha arrives at Colo-Colo with an impressive record. His performance in the World Cup 2026 qualifiers, where he was instrumental in Cape Verde reaching the final stage of the competition, caught the attention of several clubs, resulting in his transfer to Chilean football.
