It took the match until the 90th minute for the score to be opened, with Depú putting the 'Palancas Negras' ahead from the penalty spot.

However, the Angolan's goal was not enough to secure the three points, with Kamberipa restoring parity in the 90+7' minute.

From the 61st minute onwards, Angola were left with one less player, after Randi Nteka was shown a red card and sent off for an illegal challenge on an opponent.

Despite being the favourites, Angola failed to demonstrate this on the pitch, and goalkeeper António Dominique had to intervene several times, but he was eventually replaced due to injury in the 84th minute.

Angola returns to the field this Sunday against Lesotho, who beat Malawi 1-0 in the first round.

According to the Angolan Football Federation (FAF), Angolan 'Vidinho' was the most valuable player (MVP) in the match between Angola and Namibia.

"The national team's central defender Victor Pedro 'Vidinho', 27 years old, was considered MVP of the match in which Angola drew 1-1 with Namibia", reads the FAF note, to which VerAngola had access.
