A piece of history at the Africa Cup means good news for Sint-Truiden and slightly less good news for Aboubakary Koita. STVV’s top scorer was eliminated with Mauritania by Cape Verde, which is celebrating its first win in the knockout phase. The match was only decided in minute 88.
A penalty in minute 88 means the elimination of Aboubakary Koita from the Africa Cup.
STVV’s top scorer was allowed to appear in Mauritania against Cape Verde. On his left flank he had to perform more than his defensive task.
The best attacks came from Cape Verde, but Mendes forgot to reward his country. The match seemed to be heading for extra time, until Elwely knocked down his opponent in the box. Mendy converted the penalty with a hard bang through the middle.
Cape Verde is very happy with the historic victory. Secretly, a smile will also have appeared in Limburg. Sint-Truiden will soon welcome Koita with open arms.
For Cape Verde, the adventure continues against the winner of the match between Morocco and Hugo Broos’ South Africa.
