\"Angola<\/a><\/p>\n

5 June 2011<\/p>\n

\n

Luanda \u2014 The Angolan national team has gathered the best of its players to face Kenya on Sunday in Luanda, in a game that will be decisive for its future and participation in the African Confederation Football Cup, CAN2012.<\/p>\n

Angola lost the first leg match 1-2 in March this year in Nairobi (Kenya), with the opponent’s goal scored four minutes ahead of the end of the game.<\/p>\n

Sunday’s game is part of group J of the qualifiers for the final of the CAN2012, with Angola coming fourth and last with three points, same as Guinea-Bissau (third), whereas Kenya has four.<\/p>\n

The group is led by Uganda with seven points and stands good chances to reach the final of the CAN2012 that will take place in Gabon and Equatorial Guineea.<\/p>\n

Angola will lineup with Carlos (goalkeeper), midfielders Gilberto, Mateus, Andr\u00e9 Makanga, Marcos Airosa, forwards Manucho Gon\u00e7alves and Love, Mingo Bille, Dani Massunguna, Amaro, Miguel and Djalma Campos.<\/p>\n

In their common history, Kenya record an advantage as the host only won one (3-1) of the three games played, at Luanda’s Cidadela sports stadium in 2007, in the qualifiers for Ghana’s CAN2008.<\/p>\n

In the second leg match, Kenya beat Angola 1-2 in Nairobi.<\/p>\n

In March this year, the “Palancas Negras” lost again to the “Harambee Star” by 1-2, in the first leg match qualifying for CAN2012. On the two occasions, Angola’s goal was scored by Manucho Gon\u00e7alves.<\/p>\n

On the FIFA and CAF ranking, Angola stand better than Kenya, coming 104th with 295 points against the latter (123rd) with 227 points. As to the continental organisation’s ranking,<\/p>\n

Angola come 28th with 2,949 points, while Kenya follows in 29th with 2,944 points.<\/p>\n

As things stand now, none of the two teams can afford losing, unless they want to put at stake their chance of qualifying for the CAN2012.<\/p>\n
