Cape Verde participated in the World Cup for the first time and qualified from the group stage.
In the knockout round, the two sides fought to overtime.
The score is 2:2.
The entire Cape Verde team is close to physical collapse.
Argentina attacked in the final stages.
Woznia accurately identified the opponent's true shooting point.
He adjusted his focus in advance and his judgment was completely correct.
But the forty-year-old body was less than half a step slower.
The football grazed his fingers and flew into the goal.
Argentina leads 3:2.
Cape Verde's last attack failed.
The referee blew the final whistle.
Argentina advances, Cape Verde is eliminated.
Wozinha looked at the net behind him and realized that what he lost was not judgment or courage, but a peak that was too late.
His last thought was:
"If I, at the age of twenty-two, had everything I have now..."
