With a single successful dribble against the Argentine National Team, he surpassed Cristiano Ronaldo in that category during the tournament
The 2026 World Cup continues to deliver unusual stories, and one of the most striking features Vozinha, the goalkeeper from Cape Verde. After his outstanding performance against the Argentine National Team in the round of 16, he topped a statistic that surprised football fans.
According to the official tournament statistics, the African goalkeeper has completed one dribble, a figure that places him above Cristiano Ronaldo in that regard.
The play occurred during the first half of the match between Argentina and Cape Verde. Pressured by Lautaro Martínez, Vozinha kept his composure, evaded the forward with a cut inside his own area and successfully played the ball out.
This action was recorded as a completed dribble, enough to make the goalkeeper the protagonist of one of the most curious statistics of the World Cup.
Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo continues to be one of the great figures of the World Cup thanks to his goal-scoring ability. The captain of Portugal has played four matches in the tournament, three of them as a starter, and scored three goals. However, so far he has not managed to complete any dribbles, leaving him behind Vozinha in that statistical category.
