GOAL! ANGOLA 1-0 CAPE VERDE. A Nando own-goal gives Angola the lead! Djalma Campos plays Amaro in down the left and as Nando tries to cut the cross out he succeeds only in diverting it past Vozinha at the near post.

It's been a tense first-half so far as Bastos needlessly heads the ball out for a Cape Verde throw.

Gilberto wins a throw for Angola. His delivery into the area has been good so far.
