Moacir Barbosa do Nascimento was a Brazilian professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper. His career spanned 22 years. He was regarded as one of the world's best goalkeepers in the 1940s and 1950s, and was known for not wearing gloves, as would be typical. Barbosa is mainly associated with Brazil's defeat against underdogs Uruguay in the decisive match of the 1950 FIFA World Cup, an upset dubbed the Maracanazo. Barbosa is also known for his achievements at Vasco da Gama, especially the first South American Championship, and the club's domination in the Campeonato Carioca in 1940s and 1950s. — Wikipedia
