Burkinabé Hassane Bandé, passed through Mechelen during the 2017-2018 financial year, scored the only goal of the match. Hervé Koffi (Charleroi) and Abdoul Tapsoba (Standard), replaced in the 69th, were titular in the ranks of the Stallions, like the Ostend Steven Fortes and Kenny Rocha Santos on the Cape Verdean side.
At the start of the evening, Cameroon, thanks to a 4-1 victory against Ethiopia in the same group A, became the first country in this CAN to validate its ticket for the eighth. Standardmen Collins Fai and Ghent resident Michael Ngadeu played the whole game for the Indomitable Lions.
In the standings, Cameroon is in the lead with six points and ahead of Burkina Faso and Cape Verde, 3 points. Ethiopia brings up the rear (0 pt).
