Académica do Lobito said goodbye to the Confederation Cup yesterday, aka Nelson Mandela, after the defeat against Dreams from Ghana, due to four unanswered balls, in a challenge on the fourth round of group C.
The host team’s goals were scored by Boateng Mensah, in the 35th minute, Salome (own goal, in the 49th minute), Aziz (74th minute) and Tamko Nuhu (90+2).
In the league table, João Pintar da Silva’s team remains in fourth and last place without any points. For their part, Club Africain from Tunisia and Dreams share the lead in group C with nine points each, with Rivers United in third with six.
In the next round, that is, on January 25, 2024, the club from the province of Acacias Rubras will face Rivers United from Nigeria, while Dreams from Ghana will host Club Africain, at the same time.
For group B, Sagrada Esperança from Lunda-Norte and Zamalek from Egypt did not go beyond a goalless draw, at Estádio 11 de Novembro, in Luanda. The result fits with what both produced over the ninety minutes, as they were wasteful in the offensive moment.
With this result, the Diamonds remain in third place with just four points, while SOAR has yet to score. To continue dreaming of qualifying, Roque Sapiri’s commands are forced to beat SOAR from Guinea and hope that Abu Salim loses to Zamalek.
