Africa-Press – Cape verde. <\/strong><\/span>The national senior men’s handball team beat Morocco’s counterpart 31-22 today and is already in the semi-finals of the 26th African Nations Championship taking place in Egypt.<\/p>\n

This triumph, in a quarter-final match, qualified Cape Verde directly for the World Cup, to be played next year in Croatia, Denmark and Norway.<\/p>\n

It should be noted that the four semi-finalists of the African Championship automatically qualify for the World Cup.<\/p>\n

The game that dictated this double feat was marked by balance with Cape Verde finishing the first half winning by 13 -10, but was almost always at a disadvantage on the scoreboard in the first 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

In the complementary stage, the national team was stronger and extended the advantage, winning the match by a difference of nine points (31-22) and with Paulo Moreno being considered \u201cMan of Match\u201d.<\/p>\n

This is Cape Verde’s third victory over Morocco in four games played between the two teams.<\/p>\n

In the semi-finals, Cape Verde, the runner-up team in Africa, awaits the winner of the clash between Algeria and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo).<\/p>\n

The Blue Tubaro\u0303es, the name by which the Cape Verde teams are known, after winning Group A with a record of victories in the three games played in the first phase, with Rwanda (52-27), Zambia (45-23) and DR Congo (29-22).<\/p>\n

Quarter-final matches:<\/p>\n

Cape Verde 31 x Morocco 22, Algeria x DR Congo, Egypt x Angola and Tunisia x Guinea-Conakry.<\/p>\n
