Last year, Sidny Lopes Cabral was still playing in Germany’s 3. Liga for Viktoria Köln; today, he is making football history with Cape Verde. The fact alone that the small island nation off the coast of Africa forced the three-time world champions into extra time is a complete surprise.
But Cape Verde came back again after falling behind for the second time. And what a comeback it was. In the 103rd minute, Cabral took his chance and smashed the ball into the top corner to level it once more.
