Vozinha completed a journey that seemed straight out of a soccer fairy tale, winning the Chilean championship with Colo-Colo, adding yet another great moment to his career.
His team defeated New Blense 2-1 in Chillán, with Bolantos scoring the decisive goal in stoppage time to give the club its 35th league title in history.

What makes the 40-year-old goalkeeper’s story so remarkable is just how much his life and career have changed over the past few months—before which he was largely unknown to the general public. On July 3, he was in goal for Cape Verde in their World Cup match against Lionel Messi’s Argentina. In fact, his team forced the game into extra time before ultimately losing 3-2 on an own goal.
And now, just a few months later, Vozinha is celebrating a title with one of South America’s most historic teams. From facing Messi at the World Cup to the pinnacle of Chilean soccer. A truly remarkable journey
