AFCON 2015: Cape Verde and Zambia played goalless as they bowed out

 
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.
