BEBE saw his penalty saved as Cape Verde was dumped out of Afcon after a shootout against South Africa.
The two sides could not be separated in regular time as the scores were stuck at 0-0 during the quarter-final at the Charles Konan Banny Stadium.
It was the same in extra-time as both teams failed to hit the back of the net.
Cape Verde and South Africa had plenty of chances, as there were 41 shots in the match.
However, their accuracy let them down with only eight shots finding the target throughout the game.
It was not meant to be for Bebe and Cape Verde, as four of their takers missed penalties.
