Africa-Press – Angola. Goalkeeper Odília Kaita, midfielders Vivix Vissapa and Lurdinha Chitandula complete, today, the group of athletes of the Women’s National Team of Honors in South Africa, where they compete in the group stage of the 10th edition of the COSAFA Cup, at Nelson Mandela Bay in Port Elizabeth.
The goalkeeper and midfielders only arrive at the beginning of the morning at the National Team’s place of accommodation due to the distance between Johannesburg and Port Elizabeth.
The three footballers failed to board, on Tuesday, to the city of Johannesburg for lack of a Service Passport. To the stage of the tournament of the Council of Football Associations of Southern Africa (COSAFA), the coach of Welwitschias Mirabilis, Sousa Garcia, took only 18 of the 21 players.
On the competition stage, goalkeepers Mimi and Rita followed; defenders Vanuza, Nela, Dorcássia, Neuma, Indira and Fatigada; midfielders Margareth, Ana da Costa, Marizeth, Sara, Zita, Ladainha and Marlene; and advanced Cristina, Ngonguinha and Bia.
Training
The Welwitschias Mirabilis return to training today, before the match with the similar team from Mozambique tomorrow, at 11:00 am, at Estádio Madibaz, in Nelson Mandela Bay, for the second round of Group A.
Sousa Garcia will certainly seek to correct the tactical schemes that failed in the match against the South Africans, played on Wednesday, at Nelson Mandela’s Bay Stadium. The Angolans lost 0-3, and the Mozambicans beat Mauritius (5-0), in the opening of Group A.
Angola and Mauritius are in the third and fourth positions of the series, both without points.
The Mozambican team occupies the first place, with three points, followed by South Africa, equally, with three, but with a disadvantage in the goals coefficient.
For the conclusion of the second round, the South Africans face, tomorrow, at 14:30, the Mauritius Islands, also at the Madibaz Stadium.
