EQUATORIAL GUINEA 2015: Zambia Set To Demolish Cape Verde

Zambia coach Honour Janza has said he is not banking on luck to get the vital three points against Cape Verde on Monday night in their last gasp effort to qualify to the 2015 Africa Nations Cup quarterfinals.

Chipolopolo face Cape Verde in their final Group B match in search of a win to send them to the quarterfinals of the 2015 Africa Cup. Cape Verde lie second in Group B tied on two points with DR Congo; opponents Zambia are bottom with a point while Tunisia lead on four points.

Understanding AFCON Stalemates - Supersport

There are three possible results in a match: a win, draw or defeat. In most cases, a draw is what bridges the gap between the winner and loser. I have seen entertaining draws including the Angola versus Mali 4-4 draw, but what I saw when Cape Verde played DR Congo was the most atrocious game of the tournament so far.

The 30th edition has lacked the usual lustre and has done injustice to the advertisement of the game and while you try wrap your head around some of the reasons, here is why I think finding the back of the net is elusive with every kick off.

AFCON 2015: Congo Victory Boost Cape Verde' Morale - Rui Aguas

Cape Verde coach Rui Aguas believes that his side’s 3-2 friendly victory over Congo this past weekend was a morale-booster ahead of the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations. The Portuguese coach emphasised that the match was a worthwhile exercise despite the long distance travelled and fatigue suffered by his team in their trip from Lisbon, where they were in camp, to Dakar for the encounter against Congo.

The Blue Sharks found themselves 2-0 down against the Red Devils, but surged to a 3-2 win thanks to an own goal from Igor Nganga, Jailton ‘Kuka’ Miranda’s equaliser and a winner from Djaniny Semedo.
