Zapping Onze Mondial EXCLUSIVE: Moussa Diaby’s “Little Brother” Interview!
It’s a burden that poor Valley, who came on for a few minutes, will have to carry with him for a long time. The Mauritania defender, when the match against Cape Verde was deadlocked by either side, turned the match on its head with a header that completely missed its goalkeeper. Rodriguez took the opportunity to steal the ball right in front of the goalkeeper who clipped it as he tried to make up for his partner’s mistake. And Ryan Mendes was quick to convert the penalty for the win (1-0) and the quarter-finals, where the Cape Verdeans will face Senegal or Ivory Coast.
Victory in a Cape Verde-like form of reasoning, without shaking the opposition net, showed itself to be generally dominant. Mohsi also had to save his team from the start of the match (3rd) as Ambay was called on several times in the second period. If Koita or Ani had chances, Mauritania usually suffered and thus had to pay this decisive penalty at the end of the match. There is anger for the Morabitons after their magnificent exploits against Algeria.
In sum
A painful sight for Mauritania who offered Cape Verde qualification for the quarter-finals of CAN 2023, all too happy to snub them from the penalty spot. The match changed in the final minutes of regulation time.
