The team, coached by the Portuguese Pedro Gonçalves, is having a disappointing campaign in group D, with only one point, and this Thursday was part of the Gambia's party, which won by 1-0, which allowed it to add the same 10 points of Gabon, which won by 3-0 to the Congo of the portista Mbemba.
The only goal of the match was scored in the 61st minute by Assan Ceesay and was enough to eliminate Angola.
During the group phase, the 'Palancas Negras' lost four games and drew one.
Angola's group is led by Gabon and Gambia, both with ten points. In third place is the Democratic Republic of Congo (six points) and, in last place, Angola with one point. These two teams were eventually eliminated from the competition.
Comoros, Egypt, Ghana, and Gabon also qualified for the competition on Thursday.
The 33rd edition of the African Nations Cup was scheduled for this year, but was eventually postponed to 2022 - despite keeping the name CAN2021 - so as not to coincide with the America's Cup and Euro2020, which were postponed due to the covid-19 pandemic.
