Cape Verde's Cabral, once a victim of racism on an £850 monthly salary, nets goal against Argentina

Sidny Lopes Cabral, the Cape Verde defender who netted a 103rd-minute equaliser against Argentina in their FIFA World Cup 2026 Round of 32 clash, previously endured racist taunts from spectators while playing in Germany. Between 2022 and 2023, while playing for Rot-Weiß Erfurt, Cabral received a monthly wage of £850. Ultimately, Argentina secured a 3-2 victory over Cape Verde in the match.
