Cape Verde’s journey in the 2023 African Cup of Nations
The Cape Verde national team made history by qualifying for the quarter-finals for the first time in its history, after the tournament was held with the participation of 24 teams.
Cape Verde has never gone beyond the round of 16 in its previous participations, and its best achievement was reaching the quarter-finals in the 2013 edition when it included only 16 teams.
Cape Verde is considered the “dark horse” in this tournament, as it has not lost a single match so far, and has achieved surprising results:
Won Ghana 2-1.
Won Mozambique 3-0.
Draw with Egypt 2-2.
Cape Verde topped the second group with 7 points.
South Africa’s journey in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations:
South Africa qualified for the quarter-finals after finishing second in Group E with 4 points:
Lost to Mali 0-2.
Won Namibia 4-0.
Draw with Tunisia 0-0.
In the round of 16, South Africa pulled off a resounding surprise by eliminating Morocco, the fourth World Cup champion and one of the most prominent candidates for the title, by beating them 2-0.
It is worth noting that the winner of that match will meet in the semi-finals next Wednesday with the winner of the quarter-final match, which will be held between Nigeria and Angola, today, Friday.
