Key Highlights

Cape Verde shocked the tournament with the biggest scalp yet when they overcame a hapless Ghanaian side 1-2 to take all three points and bolt to the top of Group B. They can seal qualification out of Group B if they can beat Mozambique and take their tally to six points ahead of their last match of the group against one of the fancied sides, Egypt. 

However, Mozambique will not be pushovers for Cape Verde; they pulled a good result of their own, holding Egypt to a 2-2 draw in their opening match. Mozambique were winning the match until the 97th minute, when Mohamed Salah converted from the spot to earn a share of the spoils.

Since 2014, the two sides have played six times; the two sides have won two matches apiece, with the remaining two ending in draws. The head-to-head statistics have seen Cape Verde score four goals to Mozambique’s five goals.
