Prior to his World Cup exploits, Vozinha was playing for GD Chaves in the Portuguese second division, making 19 appearances last season. Interestingly, his birth name is a direct tribute to the famous Brazilian right-back Josimar, who starred for Brazil at the 1986 World Cup.

To guarantee qualification for the round of 32, they must defeat Saudi Arabia, who are currently bottom of the group with one point, in their decisive final group-stage clash.
