The African champions ended their journey already in the round of 16 after a disappointing loss to the host, SC. Cape Verde continued its preliminary campaign with a victory over Mauritania en route to the quarter-final stage.
After 2 exact penalties for each team, Moussa Nyakta, the replacement of Abdoulaye Sak who did not play this time, kicked the bar. All the other kicks found the net and the host survived the thriller and knocked out the African champions. The relegation of Senegal also affects Maccabi Haifa who will receive SC before the match next week.
