Cape Verde has advanced to the Africa Cup of Nations knockout stages after a decisive 3-0 win against Mozambique, with best wishes extended to Pico Lopes for the match that kicked off at 2pm. Bebe, the ex-Manchester United star, gave Cape Verde the lead with a stunning 40-yard free-kick, sparking Manchester United fans to call for his return. Kevin Pina scored a 'screamer' contributing to a victory that ensures Cape Verde will top Group B, ahead of Egypt and Ghana. The squad, representing 25 different teams from 16 countries and born in six nations, is the first to qualify for the knockouts and is set to face Egypt in their final group stage match.
