Gelson Dala’s brace propelled Angola to a victory against Mauritania, positioning them close to securing a spot in the last 16 of the Africa Cup of Nations.
Dala scored the opener by reacting quickly to a rebound from a corner, firing a shot into the roof of the net. Sidi Amar equalized for Mauritania with a dazzling run and finish just before half-time.
However, Dala and Gilberto added two more goals for Angola, making it 3-1. Aboubakary Koita scored a spectacular consolation goal for Mauritania.
With this win, Angola is on course to advance, needing just a point in their final group-stage match against Burkina Faso.
