Cape Verde got the better of Mauritania this Monday evening in the round of 16 of the CAN (1-0).
Dominant but long thwarted by solid Mauritanians, the Cape Verdeans made the difference late in this meeting played in Abidjan.
It was a penalty transformed by the former Le Havre and Lille resident Ryan Mendes which allowed the Blue Sharks to escape the trap set by the Mourabitounes (1-0, 88e).
In the quarter for the second time in its history in the continental tournament, after 2013, Cape Verde will face the winner of the duel between Morocco and South Africa on February 3.
