mark wilson27 Posted September 8, 2021 Author Share Posted September 8, 2021 African Cup of Nations 2025: January 12th: South Africa v Senegal (BenArsenal) Senegal dominated their first game of the tournament and grabbed a two nil win thanks to a brace from Y.Badji. South Africa offered very little when when I.Sarr was sent off just after the half hour for Senegal. An impressive start for Ben's side South Africa 0-2 Senegal Nigeria (Gavrenwick) v Zambia Nigeria made light work of the Zambian side as they grabbed a two nil win. S.Chukwueze grabbed the first goal just before the half time interval and the second goal was scored midway through the second half as F.Onyeka headed in to give Gavrenwick a perfect start Nigeria 2-0 Zambia January 14th: Tunisia (Affo) v Uganda A poor start for Tunisia saw Uganda giving the lead with U.Ikpeazu giving them the lead. Soon after though T.Khenissi equalised for Affo's side. Tunisia carried on the forward pressure and deep into the second half they grabbed the winner as W.Khazri curled the ball in to give Affo a three point start Tunisia 2-1 Uganda Angola (EvilDave) v Algeria A terrible start for Angola with A.Aggar heading in for Algeria. Soon after Algeria grabbed another goal with A.Aggar getting his second of the game. Algeria were then reduced to ten men just before the break with A.Delort picking up a second yellow card followed by the red. The second half was again all Algeria despite being down to ten men and on the stroke of full time they grabbed a third with H.Belkebla heading in to complete the rout.

mark wilson27 Posted September 15, 2021 Author Share Posted September 15, 2021 January 15th: Mali (Sherm) v Congo Mali struggled to get going in this game and it was Congo who took the early lead with M.Tchibota heading in. It took till very late in the game for Mali to pull the scores level as D.Samassekou fired in from close range. Not a great start for Mali Mali 1-1 Congo January 16th: Cameroon v Senegal (BenArsenal) An entertaining game for the fans which saw Cameroon take a two goal lead within ten minutes as F.Evina and J.Hsame scored. However Ben's side piled on the pressure and Y.Badji pulled the scores level with two fine strikes just after the break. Unfortunately for Ben's side they conceded a silly goal late on with D.Loader firing in Cameroon 3-2 Senegal Libya v Angola (EvilDave) Angola dominated the game and on the 3rd minute J.Bela grabbed the lead, this was quickly followed by F.Abreu heading home.

EvilDave Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 I am thrilled to still be alive in this. I suspect it's due to Angola's expectations being pretty low, but even so - I'm celebrating the victory! Great work as ever Mark. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark wilson27 Posted September 22, 2021 Author Share Posted September 22, 2021 January 17th: Nigeria (Gavrenwick) v Central African Rep. Gavrenwick's side dominated the game and made light work of the opposition. In the end a 3-0 win wasn't a true reading of the game. V.Osimhen grabbed one goal and the other two came from S.Chukwueze who fired in each side of the half Nigeria 3-0 Central African Rep. January 18th: Tunisia (Affo) v Morocco An end to end game which saw Affo's side coming on the wrong end of a 2-1 loss. T.Khenissi grabbed Affo's sides only goal and Morocco's goals came from N.Mazraoui and S.Amrabat. Not what Affo wanted Tunisia 1-2 Morocco January 19th: Mali (Sherm) v Benin Another end to end game with both sides going for it. Mali's two goals both came from K.Coulibaly with one from the spot. The Benin goals came from S.D'Almeida and S.Mounie Mali 2-2 Benin January 20th: Senegal (BenArsenal) v The Gambia Gambia controlled the start of the game and opened the scoring early on with M.Barrow scoring. However this came to an end when B.Jatta was sent off for a professional foul.

mark wilson27 Posted September 30, 2021 Author Share Posted September 30, 2021 January 21st: Ghana v Nigeria (Gavrenwick) Not the greatest of football matches for the fans to watch with little action in the first half. The second half wasn't much better however two goals were scored as B.Mensah headed in for Ghana and this was quickly followed by the equaliser for Nigeria from J.Aribo. Ghana 1-1 Nigeria January 22nd: Togo v Tunisia (Affo) A great start for Affo's side as they took the lead with T.Khenissi heading in from close range. However after that it went a bit pear shape as they were reduced to ten men after A.Ben Slimane was sent off for a second yellow card. Togo were the better side afterwards and managed to equalise late in the game with S.Asamoah doing the honours. Not a happy Affo at the end of the match Togo 1-1 Tunisia January 23rd: Ivory Coast v Angola (EvilDave) An entertaining game for the fans with both sides sharing five goals. It was Ivory Coast who started the better with A.Diallo grabbing a brace. After that though Angola piled on the pressure and G.Dala grabbed a goal just before the break. The second half was all Angoal with Rochinha and Show both scoring to give EvilDave the win Ivory Coast 2-3 Angola Egypt v Mali (Sherm) It was easy for Sherm's side as they piled on the pressure from the start with K.Coulibaly and A.Haidara giving them a two goal lead in the first half. The second half was much the same even with them being down to ten men for the majority of the half after Y.Kone was sent off for a reckless challenge Egypt 0-3 Mali Final Standings: (only showing tables with current managers) Group A: Cameroon, Senegal (BenArsenal), South Africa, The Gambia Group B: Ghana, Nigeria (Gavrenwick), Zambia, Central African Rep Group D: Morocco, Tunisia (Affo), Togo, Uganda Group E: Algeria, Angola (EvilDave), Ivory Coast, Libya Group F: Mali (Sherm), Benin, Egypt, Congo Teams in Italic's qualify for next round African Cup of Nations Second Round Draw Senegal (BenArsenal) v DR Congo Angola (EvilDave) v Mali (Sherm) Algeria v Tunisia (Affo) Nigeria (Gavrenwick) v Benin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark wilson27 Posted October 5, 2021 Author Share Posted October 5, 2021 January 26th: African Cup of Nations 2nd Rd Senegal (BenArsenal) v DR Congo An easy match for Bens side as they dominated with attack after attack however they only managed to get a couple of couples with A.Onana and H.Diallo both scoring. DR Congo though managed to pull a goal back very late in the game with Y.Wissa heading in, but in truth Ben's side should have put a cricket score past them Senegal 2-1 DR Congo January 27th: Angola (EvilDave) v Mali (Sherm) Angola started the better and grabbed the lead with F.Abreu doing the honours from outside the area. Mali though piled on the pressure and managed to score three either side of the half. S.Koita, M.Marega and K.Coulibaly grabbed the goals to send Sherm through to the next round and send EvilDave out of the cup Angola 1-3 Mali January 28th: Algeria v Tunisia (Affo) Affo's side never got started with Algeria controlling the play from the get go. The first half saw Algeria go into a three goal lead with A.Aggar, Y.Benzia and M.Fares all scoring. The second half was pretty much the same but it was Affo's side who grabbed the only goal of the half with E.Skhiri heading but that was about joy Affo's side got Algeria 3-1 Tunisia Nigeria (Gavrenwick) v Benin Gavrenwick's side were by far the better side and dominated a poor Benin side. The only surprise was that Nigeria only grabbed the two goals with Y.Osimhen and K.Iheanacho both scoring to send Gavrenwick's side through to the next round Nigeria 2-0 Benin African Cup of Nations ¼ Final Draw Senegal (BenArsenal) v Morocco Ghana v Mali (Sherm) Ivory Coast v Nigeria (Gavrenwick) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark wilson27 Posted October 13, 2021 Author Share Posted October 13, 2021 January 29th: Senegal (BenArsenal) v Morocco A cracking game for the fans to watch with Senegal taking an early lead with K.Diatta heading in. This was soon followed by K.Koulibaly grabbing an own goal to make it 1-1. Morocco then grabbed another goal with H.Ziyech firing in low from close range. The second half was much as the first with some excellent attacking play and Y.Badji pulled Senegal level. Soon after it was 3-2 with I.Sarr hitting home from penalty spot after a foul in the area. Senegal were then reduced to ten men just before the full time whistle with I.Mbaye earning a second yellow card Senegal 3-2 Morocco January 30th: Ghana v Mali (Sherm) Mali controlled the game with relative ease and S.Koita grabbed the lead and this was followed by a brace from K.Coulibaly after some woeful defending. Mali by rights should have scored a lot more but late in the game J.Ayew pulled a goal back for Ghana but it was too little too late Ghana 1-3 Mali February 1st: Ivory Coast v Nigeria (Gavrenwick) A dire game for the fans that turned up with very little in the way of action and in the whole ninety minutes their was only a handful of efforts.

Both sides carried on the forward fun and Senegal levelled the game early in the second half with I.Sarr doing the honours with a curling effort. The game looked to be heading into extra time but M.Marega won it for Sherm's side with a thunderous effort which gave the Senegal keeper no chance to save Senegal 1-2 Mali February 5th: Guinea v Nigeria (Gavrenwick) Nigeria started the better and took an early lead with V.Osimhen firing in from the penalty spot after a handball.

mark wilson27 Posted December 21, 2021 Author Share Posted December 21, 2021 African Cup of Nations 2027 January 9th Nigeria (Gavrenwick) v Congo A good start to the tournament for Nigeria with a 2-1 win over Congo. Gavrenwick's side scored two early goals with V.Osimhen firing in from the penalty spot and this was followed by a shot from J.Torunarigha. Congo got a late goal with S.Ganvoula heading in from close range Nigeria 2-1 Congo January 10th: Uganda v Mali (Sherm) Sherm's side also got off to a good start with E.Toure scoring early on and this was followed by along range effort from S.Koita which gave the keeper no chance of saving. A happy manager for sure Uganda 0-2 Mali January 12th: Ivory Coast v Angola (EvilDave) Not the start EvilDave was hoping for as his side went 3-1 down to Ivory Coast. His side however took the early lead with M.Nzola curling in from just inside the area. After that though it went all down hill as Ivory Coast piled on the pressure with A.Diallo, J.Boga and O.Kossounou all scoring to condemn Angola to a first match defeat Ivory Coast 3-1 Angola Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark wilson27 Posted December 27, 2021 Author Share Posted December 27, 2021 January 13th: Tunisia (Affo) v Eq.Guinea A cracking start to the tournament for Affo's side as they thrashed Eq.Guinea. They opened the scoring early on with R.Ben Belgacem firing in. The second half became the M.Ben Nasr show as he fired in a ten minute hat-trick towards the end of the half to give Affo the perfect start Tunisia 4-0 Eq.Guinea January 14th: Cape Verde v Nigeria (Gavrenwick) An entertaining game for the fans if not the managers. It was Cape Verde who started the better and quickly took a two goal lead with a brace from J.Cabral. The half time team talk from the gaffer seemed to work for Nigeria as they dominated and scored three times with W.Ndidi grabbing one and V.Osimhen scored a brace to give all three points to Nigeria Cape Verde 2-3 Nigeria Mali (Sherm) v Guinea Mali dominated form the get go and managed to score three goals in the first half with a goal a piece from D.Samassekou, C.Sidibe and S.Koita.

The Gambia 1-3 Tunisia January 18th: Nigeria (Gavrenwick) v South Africa South Africa took the lead late in the first half with a fine strike from L.Foster which gave the keeper no chance. The second half was all Nigeria with some excellent play which saw S.Chukwueze grabbing a goal and a hat-trick from V.Osimhen.

mark wilson27 Posted January 12, 2022 Author Share Posted January 12, 2022 January 24th: Second Round Mali (Sherm) v Burkina Faso Sherm's side were by far the better again and grabbed three goals with ease as E.Toure grabbed one and the other two came from S.Koita. Burkina Faso managed to grab one back as K.Mofosse ran through the defence to give the Faso fans something to shout about Mali 3-1 Burkina Faso January 25th: Nigeria (Gavrenwick) v Egypt It was a tight affair to start with with not much action till the last ten minutes as Egypt grabbed the lead thanks to A.Sobhy but this was cancelled out by V.Osimhen. The game went to extra time but just before the half time break Egypt were reduced to ten men as K.Hafez was sent off, from the resulting free-kick S.Chukwueze gave Nigeria the lead. Their was one final goal in the game as on the stroke of full time O.Azubuike grabbed Nigeria's third.

This was followed by a R.Ben Belgacem equaliser. The second half was just as good with M.Ben Nasr giving Tunisia the lead but yet again the scores were drawn level thanks to E.Simoes.

Tunisia were the better side for the majority of the game but failed to get past a stubborn Mali side. However this lack of finishing came back to haunt them as on the 88th minute C.Sidibe fired in from the penalty spot to send the game into extra time. Extra time was a none event and the game was to be decided via penalties. Unfortunately this time Tunisia were on the receiving end of the loss as they went down 4-2 and Sherm's side progressed to the Semi Finals Mali 1-1 Tunisia January 30th: Nigeria (Gavrenwick) v Cameroon) Nigeria controlled the possession with ease from the start and just before the half time S.Chukwueze headed in for Gavrenwick's side.
