Garry Rodrigues’ stoppage time goal gave the Blue Sharks of Cape Verde all three points against the Black Stars of Ghana on Sunday in their AFCON Group B opener.
The Blue Sharks had gone ahead in the first half thanks to a Jamiro Monteiro’s goal and took their lead into halftime.
Alexander Djiku, however, pulled an equaliser in the 56th minute to revive hopes for the Black Stars of Ghana.
And when the game was looking to end in a stalemate, Rodrigues stepped up to the plate to score a late winner that takes Cape Verde to the top of Group B.
