João Rafael Kapango (born 14 September 1975 in Maputo) is a Mozambican football goalkeeper.

International career

He is an international football player and played the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations in Angola.

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.
