News from Angola – In a match that ended with 10 players each, the Angolan team, led by Gelson Dala, beat Namibia 3-0 and secured passage to the quarter-finals of the African Cup of Nations (CAN 2023).
At the Peace Stadium, in Bouaké, Côte d’Ivoire, the match did not start well for Angola due to the expulsion of goalkeeper Neblú in the 17th minute, but events began to take a different turn at the 38th minute when Gelson Dala advanced the “Palancas Negras” on the scoreboard (1-0).
In the 40th minute, Namibian Lubeni Haukongo received his second yellow card of the match and a subsequent red card for stopping an attack by striker Mabululu near his area.
During the kick, captain Fredy discovered the number 10 shirt of the National Team, who, with his head, once again “found the net” in front of Lloyd Kazapua (2-0).
The two teams went to half-time and in the second half, although Namibia had greater possession of the ball, Pedro Gonçalves’ men extended the lead (3-0) through Mabululu after a pass from the scorer of the first two goals.
With this result, Angola adds its eighth victory against its neighbors in the south, continuing without losing any game in 14 already played and reaching, for the first time in its history, the eight targets for the final in the biggest African football competition.
The Angolans also set a new record for the number of victories in a CAN final phase (3).
