This first victory for the Palancas Negras means that Angola move ahead of Cameroon and up to 2nd place with 5 points behind Libya, who lead Group D with 7 points. Eswatini remain stuck in last place after losing 03 games.
Cameroon will travel to Angola on 11 June for the 4th day of World Cup qualifiers in the African zone, after the match against Cape Verde scheduled for 8 June at the Ahmadou Ahidjo stadium at 2pm.
