Cape Verde are the smallest nation to play at an Africa Cup of Nations. Angola may enter as favourites but they were desperately lacking in quality in their defeat to South Africa.
16:50
Cape Verde were close to causing a massive upset in their previous game against Morocco when they led 1-0 through Platini’s goal but Youssef El-Arabi’s leveller 12 minutes from time spared Morocco’s blushes.
16:45
A win for Cape Verde today will guarantee their passage through to the next round. They have two points from their opening two matches, while Angola have one and need to win to have a chance of going through.
16:40
ANGOLA: Lama; Marco Airosa, Bastos, Dani Massunguna; Manucho Dinis, Pirolito, Gilberto, Mateus, Djalma Campos; Amaro, Manucho. /// CAPE VERDE: Vozinha; Gege, Fernando Varela, Nando, Carlitos; Babanco, Marco Soares, Platini, Toni Varela; Ryan Mendes, Julio Tavares
16:35
There is still all to play for in this final round of Group A matches, with each of the four teams in with a chance of going through to the quarter-finals.
