Vozinha has become a Chilean league champion after helping Colo-Colo secure a dramatic 2-1 victory over Ñublense. The Cape Verde international played a crucial role in the title-winning match, producing a decisive save in the closing moments.

Arturo Vidal opened the scoring in the 14th minute, but Lucas Molina equalised for the hosts before half-time. Marcos Bolados eventually scored the winner in the 92nd minute, putting Colo-Colo on course for their 35th league championship.

Vozinha then delivered a crucial intervention in the 97th minute, denying Ñublense a late equaliser and preserving the victory. The result secured the title with three matches remaining and guaranteed Colo-Colo a place in the 2027 Copa Libertadores.

The 40-year-old goalkeeper, who attracted international attention with his performances for Cape Verde at the 2026 World Cup, joined the Chilean giants in August.

It marks another memorable achievement in his career and his first league title in Chile.
