On a sticky night in North America, a goalkeeper from a country most fans would struggle to find on a map kept the European champions out almost on his own.
His name is Vozinha, and he tends goal for Cape Verde, a string of volcanic islands flung into the Atlantic and home to barely 525,000 people.
Spain came at him in waves; seven times he turned them away. The match finished goalless. A nation smaller than Nakuru town had stood toe to toe with one of the giants of the game and refused to flinch.
