After earning worldwide plaudits for his World Cup performances with Cape Verde, goalkeeper Vozinha has another honour: a newly discovered species of sea slug named after him. The small red mollusk was discovered by biologist Jesús Ortea in the Caribbean, and he chose to name it after the 40-year-old star of the small nation’s campaign.
