Cape Verde's World Cup star Sidny Lopes Cabral, who scored a stunning goal from the edge of the box in extra time during their 2-3 loss to Argentina in the last 32, received a heartfelt message from his partner Jayley da Cruz for his moment of brilliance that will long live in the memory of every football fan from the island nation.
"I've always known what you're capable of, but seeing the whole world witness it too is something I'll never forget. I know how much you've sacrificed to get here. That's why this moment means so much more than a goal. I'll forever be your biggest fan. I love you," read Da Cruz's caption, which accompanied a picture of Cabral hugging her in the stands after scoring the goal.
