Group D
Angola vs Portugal in Köln:
Angola's Fabrice Akwa said before the game that he wouldn't sign a contract for a draw
against former colonial rulers. Maybe he should have done, although the score was kept to
a respectable solitary goal.
Mexico vs Angola in Hannover:
After earning himself a yellow card for time wasting, Jo�o Ricardo went on to make two
excellent saves to keep successive Mexican shots out, as the clock ticked down the final
seconds.
Iran vs Angola in Leipzig:
Angola's slight chance of qualifying for the second round didn't last longer than 15
minutes as Sohrab Bakhtiarizadeh equalised for Iran; with a header from a corner.
Knockout Stage
Angola failed to qualify for the Second Round.
