Eliminated without glory in the group stage of the previous edition, Mauritania is recovering under the impetus of its new coach Amir Abdou. This Saturday, the Mourabitounes started the CAN 2023 qualifiers in style by defeating Sudan 3-0 in Nouakchott.
The former Dijonnais Aboubakar Kamara first offered himself an express double (27th, 30th). Then the incoming Abdallahi drove the point home at the end (77th). The Mauritanians will travel to Gabon on Wednesday, which also started strong by winning 1-0 in DR Congo despite a chaotic preparation. At the same time, Sudan and the DRC, both with their backs to the wall, will face each other in a match that already smells of sulfur.
