Cape Verde and Zambia both bowed out of the African Cup of Nations
after a game which at one point looked as though it would stop because
of torrential rain. Persistent showers fell through the first half and the
rain became extremely heavy during half-time and in the early stages of
the second half.
Puddles appeared on the pitch but play continued and the rain finally stopped.
Cape Verde missed out on qualifying on goals scored after only
finding the net once in three matches, with a penalty, compared to DR
Congo's two strikes.
The weather will be the main talking point in a match from which either side could have qualified for the quarter-finals.
Tunisia's first-half goal against DR Congo left Cape
Verde, who only needed a draw to go through, in pole position but the
equaliser in that match
meant that both teams progressed.
