Still unbeatable at 40! World Cup hero Vozinha stars on Colo-Colo league debut

Cape Verde veteran Vozinha marked his Chilean top-flight debut with a clean sheet as Colo-Colo were held to a goalless draw at Huachipato on Sunday night. The 40-year-old goalkeeper delivered an assured performance at the Estadio Ester Roa Rebolledo, extending his unblemished start to 180 minutes following an earlier Copa Chile shutout.

The stalemate keeps Los Albos cruising at the top of the table on 53 points. The 2026 World Cup hero received a rousing reception from nearly 20,000 supporters throughout the contest, marshalling his penalty area with calm authority.

Vozinha marshalled his penalty area with calm authority, especially after a late first-half fumble that was quickly nullified by an offside flag.

The veteran's arrival has brought instant stability to Fernando Ortiz's backline, keeping the league leaders 14 points clear at the top. With both Universidad Catolica and Universidad de Chile locked together on 39 points, Los Albos remain firmly in control of the race for automatic 2027 Copa Libertadores qualification.

While Colo-Colo must sharpen their finishing after failing to convert possession into a breakthrough, this spotless league debut makes it an easy decision for Ortiz to install Vozinha as his regular number one for the remainder of the campaign.
