Africa-Press – Angola. The match in which the Angolan national team defeated Zambia 3-2 was very intense and hard-fought, according to the former captain of the Palancas Negras, Paulo Figueiredo.
In brief statements, he said that the intensity was good, with many goals, a competitive atmosphere, and the attitude of two strong teams with a good track record in the southern region.
“It looked like a CAN game, but I believe Angola still has a lot of work to do; there are things to improve, especially in defense and attack. We noticed that many times the players still haven’t mastered certain automatic movements, but that’s normal because the coach hasn’t been in charge of the group for very long,” he said.
Figueiredo stressed that despite the victory, there were some finishing flaws, with some players hesitant to have the ball at their feet, something that is not normal for high-level athletes.
He said that Zito Luvumbu, despite being in good form, still needs some adjustments to perform well in the African Cup of Nations (CAN2025) taking place in Morocco from December 21st to January 18th.
The goals of the match were scored for Angola by Milson (6), Zito Luvumbu (46), and Mabululu (57), while for Zambia, Chanda Chileche (21) and Given (49) were in action.
