Pressure is mounting for Angola's Black Antelopes to deliver a victory over Uganda Cranes on Sunday. The teams are to meet in a 2010 World Cup/MTN African Cup of Nations qualifier at the Coconut Palms stadium. For the second day running, the Palancas Negras trained behind closed doors as they put final touches on plans to reverse a 3-1 defeat at the hands of the Cranes.
Coach Luis Oliviera Goncalves' plans were also dealt a massive blow when first choice central defender Carlos Kali (No.5) of Sion in Switzerland, who marshaled the central defense with Rui Marques (Leeds) last weekend ruled himself out of the match. The defender has gone to Portugal to get married.
Midfielder Gilberto and defender Jamuana who missed the Kampala match, trained along with the rest of the squad.
