The national team debuted yesterday with a draw once morest Algeria (1-1) in a challenge valid for group D of the African Cup of Nations, which takes place in the city of Abidjan, in Côte D’Ivoire
The National Honors Football Team imposed a rigorous 1-1 draw once morest Algeria, led by Riyad Mahrez, at the Stade de la Paix, in the city of Bouaké, in a challenge related to the first round of group D of the 34th edition of the African Cup of Nations ( CAN) which is contested on the lands of Didier Drogba and Yaya Touré.
The Palancas Negras entered with nerves on edge, which allowed the Algerian team to take the lead following eighteen minutes. Youcef Belail finds Baghdad Bounedjah in the area, which he finished brilliantly. After being at a disadvantage, the coach of the Angolan national team, Pedro Gonçalves, took some measures in chess.
Still in the first half, Bruno Paz gave way to Mabululu in the 41st minute and Pedro Gonçalves, as they say in sports slang, “really hit the nail on the head”. Following a cross, Mabululu, a striker for Al Ittihad from Egypt, is charged into the area and the referee points to the “maximum punishment” mark.
Mabululu, 34 years old, did not tremble at the eleven meter mark and restored equality on the scoreboard in the 68th minute. Due to this result, both teams share the lead with one point each. In the next round, remember, the Palancas Negras will face Mauritania, that is, on Saturday.
The match is scheduled for the Stade de la Paix (Bouaké), starting at 6:00 pm (Angola time). It should be noted that the first round continues this followingnoon with the challenge that will put the teams from Burkina Faso and Mauritania face to face, at 15:00.
