The incredible story of Cabral, who scored a stunning goal

Sidny Lopes Cabral scored a stunning goal against Argentina, the reigning world champions. But behind Cabral lies his incredible story. He collected garbage bags and used them as curtains.

Cabral has so far scored one of the most beautiful goals of the World Cup.

The 23-year-old joined Trabzonspor in Turkey after leaving Benfica. He is the second-youngest player in the Cape Verde national team.

He began his career in the fifth tier of German football.

“I always told my mother that I would become a professional footballer and that you wouldn’t need to work anymore. I’ll do everything for you. Even when I was playing in the fifth division, I told my mother and father not to worry, because I would take care of them. Football is my passion, my life, even on difficult days,” Cabral told “The Guardian.” The footballer once earned a salary of just 1,000 euros a month.
