Goals and Highlights for Angola 1-2 Cape Verde in 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers Match

And that's all for now! Thank you very much for watching this Qualifying match here on VAVEL. Stay tuned for more games and repercussions from this FIFA Date. Good afternoon and see you next match!

Away from home, Cape Verde took the lead with a goal from Livramento, saw Dala equalize for Angola, but with Livramento shortly after scoring the winning goal for Cape Verde away from home in the Qualifiers!

Zini had the ball inside the area and managed to turn it around, but was blocked by the defense, with Vidigal getting the rebound inside the area, but sending the ball far from the goal, without any danger to the defense.

Cape Verde makes two more changes in the match: Y Semedo and Mendes are replaced by Duares and W Semedo. Cape Verde puts more energy into the team to hold on to the 2-1 result on the scoreboard for the victory!

We have another break for the players to hydrate due to the intense heat at the moment. The match returns with possession for Angola, who continue to press high, trying to create danger in the attacking field.

Now we have three changes in Angola, who continue trying to go forward: Benson, Mata and Mabululu are out, making way for Hossi, Vidigal and Milson. Angola is trying to go on the attack with new players in search of a draw!

Bondo, in the middle, hit a powerful shot from afar, but sent the ball into Vozinha's hands in the middle of the goal, in a good finish from Angola. And shortly before that, a yellow card was issued for Arcanjo, in celebration of Livramento's goal.

Change in Cape Verde: Cabral came off and Varela came on. And repeating the first goal, Livramento received the pass in front, invaded the area to beat the goalkeeper, sending the ball into the left corner, scoring Cape Verde's second goal!

Angola makes another change, with Dala replaced by Banza. Angola dominates the match, exchanging passes and going on the attack, in search of the winning goal, which seems increasingly close for the Angolan team.

In a free kick crossed into the area by Fredy, the defense did not clear, with the ball falling at the feet of Dala, alone in the area, who shot into the back of the goal, tying the match at the beginning of the second half! And confirming that, at half-time, Maestro came off for Zini!

The players return to the pitch and the ball is already rolling for the second half of the match between Angola and Cape Verde, in the sixth round of the group stage of the World Cup Qualifiers, broadcast here on VAVEL!

The game was heading into half-time with the score at 0-0, but in the last play of the first half Livramento opened the scoring for Cape Verde, who went into half-time beating Angola 1-0 away from home, adding three points in the Qualifiers!

Livramento received the pass between the defenders on the counterattack, made by Cabral, he ran through the middle and, with Neblu coming out, he shot low, sending the ball into the back of the goal, opening the away score for Cape Verde!

Mabululu, at the edge of the area, tried a shot and was blocked by the defense, with Benson getting the rebound to shoot hard, sending the ball over the goal, out, in yet another dangerous chance for Angola!

On the right, Cabral received the pass and crossed low, with the defense clearing it for a corner, beaten by Livramento for López to go high and head the ball powerfully, sending the ball to the right of the goal, with VERY danger, almost hitting the post!

Cape Verde not only balanced the match but also started to press and create danger, managing to dominate the match in the attacking half, trying to finish and open the score in the first half of the game.

We now have a break for the players to hydrate, due to the intense heat. They return to the field after just two minutes of rest, with the ball rolling again, with a goal kick for Cape Verde, putting the ball back into play.

And Cape Verde makes two changes, both due to injury, with Cruz and Monteiro leaving, and Livramente and Arcanjo coming in. These are the first changes of the match, at a bad time for the visiting team today.

Fredy, taking advantage of a mistake by the Cape Verde defense, received the pass inside the area, controlled it and hit it hard, sending the ball over the goal, missing a clear chance to open the scoring for Angola!

Bondo, on the left, received the pass and crossed, but applied too much force, sending the ball into the goal for Vozinha to keep without giving a rebound, in Angola's first 'arrival' of the game, with the first 'shot' at goal.

We continue in a high-intensity match, with both teams trying very hard to attack. But we have a problem: neither team is finishing. So far, there has been nothing but running, passing errors and tackles!

The game starts evenly between the teams, who have space to start attacking at speed, where Angola has more possession of the ball at the beginning, including two corners taken for the defense to clear.

The players take to the pitch and the ball is already rolling for the first stage of the match between Angola and Cape Verde, in the sixth round of the group stage of the World Cup Qualifiers, with real time and all the moves and emotions here on VAVEL!

Finally, the balance is even present in the goals scored by the teams, with each of them scoring eight goals in the total of the clashes, with eight goals in eight games, with an average of one goal per game.

At home, Angola has hosted Cape Verde four times, winning one, losing one and drawing two, in friendlies. Angola has visited Cape Verde three times away from home, with one win and two draws in these games.

This will be the second time that the two teams have faced each other in World Cup qualifying matches, with the first match ending in a draw. Overall, there have been eight clashes between the two teams, with great balance, with two wins for each side and four draws.
