Goalkeeper Vozinha was celebrated by the Cape Verde national team after winning the Chilean league title with Colo Colo, ahead of the AFCON qualifiers against Liberia.
On his return to the Cape Verde national team for the November FIFA window, Vozinha received a guard of honour and a “camotera” from his teammates, according to Chilean site Te Caché. The gesture celebrates his Chilean league title with Colo Colo. The Cape Verde national team shared the tribute on its official social media, again according to the same source.
Arriving at Macul in August, the goalkeeper was a key figure in Colo Colo’s victorious campaign. His save in stoppage time in the 2-1 win over Ñublense, in Chillán, sealed the Liga de Primera 2026 title, Te Caché reports.
A title won on the wire
Colo Colo’s triumph came down to a detail: a save in stoppage time, in the match played in Chillán. Vozinha thus helped seal the 2-1 win over Ñublense, and with it the Liga de Primera 2026 title. Te Caché presents this episode as the high point of the campaign.
That save earned him the congratulations of his teammates, then the tribute from the Cape Verde national team, shared on its official social media.
An extension clause in the background
Vozinha’s contract with Colo Colo expires at the end of the year. It includes an automatic renewal clause if he plays at least 50% of the minutes, according to Te Caché. A target he is currently reaching, again according to the Chilean outlet.
This is reported contractual information, not an official announcement. The question of his future in Chile therefore remains open: no decision has been communicated at this stage, and the automatic extension will be decided at the end of the year.
Now for the AFCON qualifiers
Before thinking about his club future, Vozinha and Cape Verde have two AFCON qualifying fixtures: Liberia this Friday, 13 November, then again on Tuesday, 17 November.
The Cape Verde squad is nevertheless reportedly affected by fitness concerns, according to aggregation site qiumiwu.com: Gary Rodrigues is said to be suffering from a muscle contusion, while Liberia’s Oscar Dolly is reportedly injured in the hamstrings. Unconfirmed information, to be treated with caution.
