Angola beat South Sudan 2-0 on Saturday at the 11 de Novembro stadium, thanks to late goals from Chico Banza and Miro. The win takes the Angolans to 7 points in Group B.
On Saturday 14 November 2026, at the 11 de Novembro stadium in Luanda, Angola beat South Sudan 2-0, according to scoresway.com. The Angolans had to wait until stoppage time to make the difference: both goals came from substitutes, Chico Banza in the 92nd minute and Miro in the 98th, reports sportstar.thehindu.com.
A script that rewards Angola’s dominance, but one that leaves its mark: South Sudan defender Geriga Atendele was sent off three minutes after the break for a headbutt on Pedro Bondo, who was carried off on a stretcher (newvision.co.ug). Coach Aliou Cissé, a 2022 Africa Cup of Nations winner with Senegal, had to make six substitutions, one more than permitted because of Bondo’s concussion, sportstar.thehindu.com specifies.
A first goal clouded by controversy
For the first goal, credited to Chico Banza, the South Sudan players appealed for offside. But with VAR not in use in these qualifiers, the goal was allowed to stand, according to newvision.co.ug. The Angolan striker, who plays for Zamalek, thus broke the deadlock in the closing stages.
The second goal came from a dribble by Zito Luvumbo, of Mallorca, who laid the ball off to Miro to seal the win for his side (newvision.co.ug).
A one-sided contest
The stats, reported by qiumiwu.com, reflect Angola’s stranglehold: 24 shots (7 of them on target) to South Sudan’s 1, 80% possession and 15 corners to 2. They confirm the grip of Aliou Cissé’s men.
Despite that dominance, the Angolans had to wait until stoppage time to find a way through. Geriga Atendele’s red card left South Sudan with ten men for almost the whole of the second half.
The race for qualification is back on
With this win, Angola move to 7 points in Group B, level with Egypt at the top but behind on goal difference (sportstar.thehindu.com). South Sudan remain on 0 points.
The reverse fixture is played on Tuesday 17 November 2026 in Juba, on matchday four of Group B.
