The second round of games in Group B continues on Friday afternoon with Cape Verde taking on Mozambique in another epic clash at the Félix Houphouët-Boigny Stadium.
Both teams somehow had an impressive start to the competition, despite being touted as underdogs in the group and definitely will wish to serge on with the momentum in their subsequent matches.
Whiles, the Blues going into the game will seek another win to advance from the group phase, the Yellows will also head in with the same mindset to enhance their qualification chances.
The Blue Sharks exhibited a superb performance to defeat four-time champions Ghana by 2-1 in their opening game last Sunday to set up off a brighter start, thanks a late winner from Garry Rodriguez.
In contrast, after a poor first half and down by a goal, the Mambas returned explosively in the second phase to pull a huge comeback to lead 2-1 at some point against grand masters Egypt until Mohammed Salah scored a late penalty to level the score after full time.
Cape Verde are currently sitting on top of Group B with three points, whiles Mozambique sit on the third position with a point.
