Vozinha's mother receives a US visa fee waiver, allowing her to watch her son play for Cape Verde at the World Cup after a last-minute intervention.

Vozinha, 40, was named player of the match in Cape Verde's stunning World Cup draw with heavyweights Spain.

Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha made seven saves against Spain in a historic 0-0 World Cup draw, but US visa issues kept his mother from attending the match.
