Cape Verde has just lost two balls to zero with Sierra Leone, in a game that took place at the stadium in Marrakesh, Morocco.
Sierra Leone was stronger and went into the first half already winning by a ball to zero, having consolidated the victory in the second half.
The two teams will face each other again next Wednesday, the 27th, at the same stadium in this Maghreb country, this time, in a game referring to the second round, with Cape Verde playing as a home team.
