Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha and Norway striker Erling Haaland were among the biggest winners in the fan-voted FIFA World Cup Dream Team after their remarkable performances helped fuel two of the tournament's most memorable underdog stories.
While Spain lifted the World Cup title with a 1-0 extra-time victory over Argentina and Unai Simon claimed the official Golden Glove award, supporters around the world rewarded the players who captured their imagination, with Vozinha and Haaland earning places alongside football's biggest stars.
Vozinha received 39.6% of the vote to finish as fans' first-choice goalkeeper, edging out several more established names despite FIFA's technical study group selecting Simon as the tournament's best goalkeeper.
The 40-year-old became one of the defining stories of the World Cup after helping Cape Verde enjoy a dream debut on football's biggest stage. Without a club after leaving Portuguese second-division side Chaves before the tournament, the veteran goalkeeper arrived with little fanfare but left as one of its breakout stars.
His finest performance came in a scoreless draw against eventual champions Spain, when he produced seven saves to frustrate one of the tournament's most potent attacks.
