It seems like Cape Verde had a solid performance in its first match in the CAN (Africa Cup of Nations) against South Africa, ending in a 0-0 draw. Lille striker Ryan Mendes, who serves as the captain of the Cape Verde team, expressed some regrets about the missed opportunities in the match but acknowledged the lack of experience, considering it was their first match in the tournament.
Despite the draw, Mendes seems optimistic about the team’s potential and is looking forward to upcoming matches. Cape Verde will face Morocco on Wednesday, January 23 in Durban, and will also have matches against Angola. Mendes believes that, with more experience, the team can still create surprises in the tournament. It will be interesting to see how Cape Verde performs in the remaining matches and if they can advance further in the competition.
