Vozinha is only the third goalkeeper to keep multiple World Cup clean sheets after turning 40. The Cape Verde shot-stopper joins Peter Shilton (3) and Dino Zoff (2).

There was always going to be somebody from a smaller country, that is here maybe for the first time, that was going to get through and make some real noise. Cape Verde have.
Tonight they were the team with more intent, and trying in a bigger way to get the ball up the field, to bring the intensity. Saudi Arabia never did until the very latter stages - too late to answer the bell.

It's just a great story for what the World Cup is all about. We often talk about how football touches every part of the globe and this is what it can do. Get on the main stage and they finished second in their group.
I think they'd love to play Argentina, it just adds to their story. Playing against the reigning champions. What a great story it's been.

It is now just one defeat in 18 matches for Cape Verde.
The African side have won eight and drawn nine after tonight’s stalemate in Houston.
It has been an incredible 12 months for the Blue Sharks, who sealed a place at the World Cup for the first time ever by finishing top of a qualifying group that included Cameroon.
It’s fair to say Cape Verde are quickly becoming everyone’s favourite second team this summer.

Tears of pride and joy all around the stands. There was a beautiful moment where the full-time whistle had gone here, they were all huddled around waiting on their phones, waiting for the full-time whistle to go.
When it did, tears flowed on the pitch and in the stands as well.
What a moment. The moment of the World Cup so far.

I think those sceptics who thought expanding the World Cup wasn't the right thing might be rethinking it watching these Cape Verde fans because this is really special. A country of 500,000 people getting to the knockout phase.
We've seen Uruguay, one of the biggest countries, going out and then one of the smallest teams making it to the knockout phase.
What a moment for them.
FT: Urugual 0-1 Spain
Marcelo Bielsa has failed to progress from the group stage in two of his three FIFA World Cup campaigns: with Argentina in 2002 and Uruguay in 2026. His only successful group-stage campaign came with Chile in 2010.
FT: Uruguay 0-1 Spain
Arguably the biggest moment of surprise in Uruguay-Spain came when goalkeeper Fernando Muslera was taken off at the break after making a howler for the first goal.
Here's what happened:

Several Cape Verde players are struggling to hold back the tears as they soak in the magnitude of their achievement.
Is this the biggest overachievement in football since Leicester City won the Premier League in 2016?

What a moment it is for Cape Verde. Just to see these faces, tears of joy, tears of pride. It was just incredible to see the reaction from the bench when the result in Guadalajara was announced. Incredible.
Nobody would have dreamed o this happening, to get here over the likes of Cameroon. It's hard to believe they get to the World Cup, and then to do what they are doing. It shows what this 48 team tournament can do, how teams can announce themselves and really make a mark.

Unbelievable for Cape Verde to get the three draws to qualify out of this group. Really special for them.
It's a brilliant result for Cape Verde to finish second in this group.

Saudi Arabia finish bottom of group
Cape Verde made history as they finished runners-up in Group H to reach the knockout stage of the World Cup with a goalless draw against Saudi Arabia.
The Blue Sharks finished in second place on three points in their debut tournament, a point above two-time winners Uruguay and 2034 hosts Saudi Arabia.
Bubista's side will face defending champions Argentina in the last 32 at Miami Stadium on Friday, 3 July.
Cape Verde looked most likely to score, with Willy Semedo's shot well-saved at the near post, before he smashed another effort wide.
Saudi Arabia defender Hassan Al Tambakti fell to the floor with no other players around him and had to be taken off on a stretcher with half an hour played.
Shortly after the break, Kevin Pina's shot from outside the box narrowly missed the top corner as Cape Verde looked to open the scoring.
With 15 minutes remaining, Saudi Arabia goalkeeper Mohammed Al Owais kept his side's hopes alive when he thwarted a shot from Laros Duarte who was running clear through on goal.
But in the end Cape Verde advanced to set up a monumental match with Argentina in just under a week, as they became the third African nation to remain unbeaten in the group stages on their tournament debut.

'The fairytale continues!' Emotional scenes as Cape Verde qualify for last 32
As the final whistle blew in their game, the Cape Verde players crowded around a phone to see the conclusion of the Uruguay match against Spain. There were joyous scenes when it was confirmed that their World Cup adventure would continue, thanks to Uruguay's 1-0 defeat.
The Blue Sharks, 67th in Fifa's rankings, drew with past World Cup winners Spain and Uruguay in a group that few would have expected them to get out of before a ball was kicked.
A nation of just 525,000 inhabitants has gained many more fans on this brilliant journey so far, reminding people of the joy football can bring.
They are the first African debutants to advance from the World Cup group stage since Ghana in 2006, and there is no doubt that Lionel Messi's Argentina will face a tough challenge against them.
Speaking after the match, Cape Verde midfielder Deroy Duarte said: "Honestly, it's mad. I feel like I'm in a dream.
"Ever since I was a kid, I've always dreamed of playing in a World Cup.
"To be man of the match and make history is something I could never have imagined.
"First, let's celebrate. We're so happy. Let's hope all Cape Verdeans are happy too. From tomorrow, we'll focus on the next match.
"It's against Argentina, isn't it? A tough match, but let's believe. Anything is possible."
