Angola ease into the quarter-finals by beating Namibia (3-0) in the round of 16 AFCON 2023.
Namibia play their first ever knockout match at the Africa Cup of Nations as they face Angola in the last-16 this evening.
In three previous AFCON appearances, Namibia had not won a single match, but they have squeezed through to the knockout stages as one of the best third-placed teams, having stunned Tunisia in their opening game.
Angola have never won a knockout match at AFCON themselves, having lost in the last-eight on the two previous occasions they qualified from their group.
They have been one of the most consistent teams at the tournament this time, drawing with Algeria and then beating Mauritania and Burkina Faso to top Group D.
These were two of the lowest-ranked teams going into the tournament but one of them will play in the quarter-finals, where they will certainly be the underdogs against either Nigeria or Cameroon.
