40-year-old World Cup goalkeeper Vozinha wins Chilean title with Colo-Colo

Cape Verde national team goalkeeper Vozinha has become a Chilean champion at the age of 40 after helping Colo-Colo secure their 35th league title.

As reported by İdman.Biz, citing EFE, Colo-Colo defeated Ñublense 2-1 away from home in the 27th round of the Chilean championship to clinch the historic trophy.

Veteran midfielder Arturo Vidal opened the scoring in the 14th minute, but Lucas Molina equalized for the hosts in the 29th minute.

The decisive moment came in the second minute of stoppage time, when Marcos Bolados scored the winning goal to put Colo-Colo ahead.

However, the drama was not over. In the 97th minute, Vozinha produced a crucial save to deny Ñublense an equalizer and preserve his team's victory.

The 40-year-old goalkeeper had already attracted international attention with his performances for Cape Verde at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

After joining Colo-Colo in August, Vozinha has now celebrated his first league championship outside his home country, adding another significant achievement to his career.

Following the match, the experienced goalkeeper dedicated the title to his family, his native Cape Verde, his teammates and Colo-Colo supporters.

The triumph marks Colo-Colo's 35th Chilean league championship, further strengthening the club's position as the most successful team in the country's football history.
