Julio Tavares’ header just before half time sealed the win

Cape Verde Sunday night got off to a winning start against Ethiopia at the Africa Cup Nations as the first set of games in Group A were completed.

The second Group A game got off to a fiery start as Ethiopia were reduced to ten men barely 12 minutes into the game. This development forced Ethiopia’s coach to re-shuffle his pack as Mohammed Mesud had to make way for Mignot Dada Cape Verde kept pushing until they finally made their numerical advantage count just before the break when Garry Rodrigues did well to cut the ball back for Tavares, who nodded into an empty net.
