Aliou Cissé's first match with his new team spoiled in the 91st minute

In his debut as Angola coach, Aliou Cissé saw his team held to a 1-1 draw by Mauritania in a friendly in Casablanca on Friday evening. Keliano scored for Angola in the 86th minute, but Idrissa Thiam equalized in the 91st minute. Despite the draw, Cissé downplayed the result due to several key absentees.
