The viral moment occurred during Cape Verde's debut World Cup appearance in their dramatic Round-of-32 clash in Miami.
In the 103rd minute of extra time, the 23-year-old left-back collected the ball on the flank, dribbled past midfielder Alexis Mac Allister, and unleashed a right-footed shot past goalkeeper Emiliano MartÃnez into the top corner to tie the match at 2–2.
Cabral becomes the first African player to claim the World Cup Goal of the Tournament honor since the award's inception.
