João Rafael Kapango (born 14 September 1975 in Maputo) is a Mozambican football goalkeeper.
International career
He is an international football player[1] and played the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations in Angola.[2]
He became notable in the 2010 African Cup of Nations during the game against Benin, when he came to collect a routine overhit pass and made a bizarre attempt at a salto whilst gathering the ball. Whilst he narrowly avoided conceding a goal, he injured his neck in the process. The incident has become a minor YouTube hit.
