Official: Cape Verde scored the best goal of the World Cup
xCruzo Brief
Sidny Lopes Cabral’s right-footed strike for Cape Verde against Argentina has been named the Hyundai Goal of the Tournament at the FIFA World Cup 2026. The winning goal was scored in the round of 32 at Miami Stadium, where Lopes Cabral beat bids from Eldor Shomurodov and Wilson Isidor in the voting. The moment doubled Cape Verde’s tally to 2-0 as the left-back beat Alexis Mac Allister and curled the ball into Emiliano Martínez’s top corner. The celebration was so intense that his mother fainted in the stands. The 23-year-old defender joins Benjamin Pavard as a rare defender to win the award.
