Gelson Dala’s brace edged Angola closer to the next stage of the AFCON next stage, securing a 3-2 victory over Mauritania. Gilberto added the third goal in a match filled with high-quality scoring.

Conversely, Burkina Faso won their first game against Mauritania by 1-0 before an epic 2-2 draw with Algeria on Saturday. In a thrilling turn of events, Burkina Faso gave up their lead twice in the game to settle for a 2-2 draw with Algeria.
