US lawmaker seeks visa for Cape Verde goalkeeper's mother

US House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has called on Secretary of State Marco Rubio to help Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha's mother obtain a visa to attend the country's World Cup match against Uruguay in Miami Gardens. Vozinha, 40, was the hero of Cape Verde's historic goalless draw against Spain, making seven saves and earning man of the match. After the game, he broke down in tears, saying his mother could not be there due to visa costs and complications. The US State Department said it had no record of a visa application but was reaching out to assist the family.
