Ana candida evora

How Cabo Verde Keeper Vozinha: When Cabo Verde goalkeeper Vozinha walked off the pitch after his team's shock draw with Spain in its opening World Cup Group H match, his thoughts turned to his mother thousands of miles away.

Six days later, Ana Candida Evora was in a suite as Cabo Verde faced Uruguay in Miami, completing a journey that became one of the most talked-about human-interest stories of the World Cup.

Ana arrived at Miami Stadium carrying a Cabo Verde flag and wearing a shirt bearing her son's name and number, reports Xinhua. Before the match, she expressed gratitude to those who made the trip possible in a video released by FIFA.
