Cape Verde World Cup Debut against Spain — the European champions and one of the World Cup favourites — in their very first World Cup match ever. And they didn’t just show up for their World Cup Debut
They held on. Goalkeeper Vozinha was superhuman, making seven saves to earn Cabo Verde a legendary 0-0 draw against one of the best teams on the planet.
Back home on Ilha do Sal, the streets of Santa Maria told their own story.
This video captures the raw emotion, the pride, and the electric atmosphere in Santa Maria as locals gathered to watch this moment of national history — flags flying, hearts pounding, voices united.
This is what it means to be Cape Verdean.
