Vozinha, Haaland named in fan-voted World Cup dream team

REUTERS -- Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha and Norway striker Erling Haaland have been named in the fan-voted ​FIFA World Cup dream team, with both rewarded ‌for standout performances during unexpected runs by their teams.

Vozinha topped the goalkeeper vote with 39.6% after a string of ​impressive displays for World Cup debutants Cape ​Verde, taking the place in the team ⁠despite Spain’s Unai Simon winning the Golden Glove, ​which is selected by a FIFA technical group.

The 40-year-old, ​who was without a club after leaving Portuguese second-tier side Chaves before the tournament, made seven saves as Cape Verde ​held eventual champions Spain to a goalless draw. ​He also helped take eventual finalists Argentina into extra time ‌in ⁠the last 32.

Haaland captured 27.5 percent of the forward votes after leading Norway to their first World Cup quarter-final.

The Manchester City forward scored seven goals ​in five appearances, ​including a ⁠double as Norway eliminated five-time champions Brazil 2-1 in the round of 16 ​before their run ended against England.
