Nelinho, real name Manoel Rezende de Mattos Cabral, (born July 26, 1950 in Rio de Janeiro) is a former association footballer who played right back.[1] He played in the 1974 FIFA World Cup (three times) and the 1978 FIFA World Cup (four times),[2] and scored one of the most stunning goals in World Cup history, in the third place match against Italy in 1978: he struck it into the far corner with the outside of his right foot, bending it round the sprawling Dino Zoff.[1] He was capped 28 times by Brazil, between April 1974 and June 1980, and scored eight international goals.[2] According to an interview with FIFA Futbol Mundial, Nelinho said he scored 210 goals in his career, with over 100 coming during his time at Cruzeiro.
