Next year's Africa Cup of Nations hosts, Angola, continued their build-up for the tournament with a heart-warming goalless draw against one of Africa's top sides Cameroon at the Estadio Jose Arcanjo in Portugal on Wednesday night.

Both sides had chances to get on the scoreboard in this friendly but in the end a mix of good defending and poor finishing would deny them.

Angola's confidence was earlier lifted at the weekend when they defeated European minnows Malta 2-1 in another friendly in Portugal.
 
Next month, the Palancas Negras will take on the Black Stars of Ghana in another warm-up match ahead of the 2010 Nations Cup, which kicks off in January.

The Indomitable Lions of Cameroon used this match to prepare for next month's all-important World Cup qualifier away in Morocco.

The Cameroonians, now under Frenchman Paul Le Guen, need a result in North Africa if they are to fend off closest rivals Gabon in the race to South Africa 2010.
