Mauritania will look to register their first win at the AFCON 2023 when they take on Angola who are on the back of a draw against Algeria.
Burkina Faso defeated Mauritania 1-0 as Bertrand Traore scored a penalty in the dying minutes of the game to capture three points. A defeat against Angola could see them bow out of the tournament and Mauritania will want to give it their all on the pitch to salvage pride for themselves.
Angola, on the other hand, held off the mighty Algeria despite the latter scoring an early goal before half-time. Mabululu's crucial spot-kick helped Angola restore parity and take home a point that could be crucial in their hopes of making it through to the next round.
