António Alberto Bastos Pimparel, aka Beto (born 1 May 1982 in Lisbon), is a Portuguese footballer who plays for CFR Cluj on loan from F.C. Porto, as a goalkeeper.
Club career
After unsuccessfully developing in the Sporting Clube de Portugal (he only played one season with the first team, being third-choice), Beto played one season on loan to neighbours Casa Pia AC, being released in June 2004.
After one season each with G.D. Chaves and F.C. Marco (second level), Beto joined Leixões Sport Club for 2006–07, helping the Matosinhos outfit return to the top flight, and only missing six games in his three seasons combined.
In March 2009, before 2008–09 ended, Beto agreed to a move to league powerhouse F.C. Porto, in a four-year deal worth €750.000, effective as of June.[1] During his two-season spell, he acted almost exclusively as backup to Brazilian Helton, being mostly restricted to domestic cup matches; on 22 May 2011, with the score at 2–2, he stopped a penalty kick in the Portuguese Cup final, with his team eventually winning 6–2 in Lisbon.[2]
International career
Beto made his debut for Portugal on 10 June 2009, in a 0–0 friendly match in Estonia.[1]
After finishing 2009–10 in Porto's starting XI, he was named by manager Carlos Queiroz in a provisional 24-player list for the 2010 FIFA World Cup,[3] making the final cut for the finals in South Africa, where he did not leave the bench.
