Emotions galore, zero upheavals. Group B of the Africa Cup of Nations ends as expected, with South Africa prevailing over Zimbabwe, albeit with a difficult 3-2, and taking second place behind quiet Egypt. Salah’s national team, rested for the entire match, ended the 0-0 draw with Angola with a smile, a real disappointment for the group. In fact, Luvumbo and his associates do not take advantage of the Pharaohs’ large turnover and miss the chance to win: for them only third place at 2 points, ahead of Zimbabwe who closes with one point. To be among the best third-placed teams, Angola must hope, in order, that: Zambia loses against Morocco (without scoring or, alternatively, with a two-goal difference), Comoros does not win against Mali, Tanzania does not score points against Tunisia and Uganda does not win against Nigeria. Today’s program ends at 8pm with the final matches in Group A: Comoros Islands-Mali and, indeed, Zambia-Morocco.
