Soccer-Late Goals Keep Algeria, Angola on Course in Qualifiers
Late headers and stoppage-time finishes kept Algeria and Angola atop their AFCON qualifying groups.
- Angola defeated South Sudan 2-0 on Saturday in an AFCON qualifier, overcoming a stubborn 10-man opposition in their Group B matchday three clash.
- Defender Geriga Atendele was sent off three minutes into the second half after head-butting Pedro Bondo, who left the pitch on a stretcher. Angola coach Aliou Cisse made six substitutions, one more than normally permitted, because Bondo suffered a concussion.
- Chico Banza scored in the 92nd minute before Zito Luvumbo's brilliant dribbling from Spanish club Mallorca set up Miro for the 98th-minute goal. VAR is not used in AFCON qualifiers, so both goals stood.
- Securing maximum points lifted Angola to seven points, level with Egypt atop the group but behind on goal difference. South Sudan remains pointless ahead of the return match in Juba on Tuesday.
- South Sudan defended courageously throughout the matchday three clash before tiring during 11 minutes of added time. Malawi, the only other Group team, currently holds three points.
