Africa-Press – Mauritius. Mauritius and Djibouti face off at the Stade de Cote d’Or in Saint Pierre on Thursday in the 2023 Mauritius Four Nations Cup. The Dodos started their campaign with a 3-0 win against Pakistan, the lowest-ranked team in the cup, on Sunday.
Following a goalless opening stanza, Jeremie Velleneuve broke the deadlock in the 53rd minute before Ashley Nazira doubled their advantage 10 minutes later.
In the 71st minute, Syed Abdullah Shah scored an own goal to make it 3-0 for the hosts, who kicked off the tournament in resounding fashion. Mauritius head coach Tony François will be tempted to play the same starting XI this week against Djibouti.
Speaking of Djibouti, their opening game against Kenya was canceled after the Harambee Stars failed to arrive in Mauritius on time. Due to being unable to find flights, they were only scheduled to arrive in the country on Monday.
However, the Shoremen of the Red Sea were awarded a 3-0 win and three points, and now sit in second position of the Four Nations Cup table, with hosts Mauritius leading the charts.
