Tanzania 0-1 Uganda: Rarely shown. No less than 36 minutes were added to the first half of the game. In the battle for the Africa Cup qualification between Tanzania and Uganda.
Africa Cup qualifying game runs out: 36 minutes of injury time
The extreme injury time was of course not without reason. The match in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, had been stopped for more than twenty minutes due to a malfunction in the lighting system.
In group F of the qualification for the continental tournament, the 36 minutes had no influence on the score. It was only in stoppage time of the second half that a goal was scored. Rogers Mato gave Uganda the victory and kept his country in the race. Algeria is convincingly leader in the group with twelve points from four matches. Tanzania and Uganda follow with four points per country.
Ivory Coast 2-0 Comoros
At PSV, Ibrahim Sangaré was not exactly known for his scoring ability until recently. But the Ivorian midfielder is increasingly successful in front of goal. On Tuesday evening it was again a hit for Ivory Coast in the away game with Comoros (0-2).
Sangaré again emerges as a goal getter with a cannonball for Ivory Coast
In the Stade Omnisports de Malouzini, it was Sangaré who opened the score ten minutes before the break. With a bang from a distance, which was not fully captured because the cameraman could not keep up with the cannonball, the 25-year-old PSV player passed goalkeeper Ali Ahamada. It meant the prelude to a 0-2 victory for Ivory Coast, which, despite the automatic placement as host country, still participates in the Africa Cup qualification series.
Sangaré continued a remarkable series with his goal. In 2022, the 29-time international was also accurate five times, leaving Nicolás Pépé (Arsenal, now loaned out to OGC Nice) as the most accurate international. They had not sought that behind the controlling midfielder in Eindhoven either, although Sangaré has also shown that unsuspected quality this season with seven goals in all competitions at PSV.
Still, his average with Ivory Coast with eight goals in 29 international matches is a lot higher than in the Eredivisie. Where he needed 81 matches for this number. It is striking that it is especially this season in which Sangaré has started to score goals regularly. At Toulouse, for example, he only scored twice in 86 matches. And every now and then the physically strong midfielder also throws out a nice pass. Such as Friday in the home game with De Comoros (3-1).
