Cape Verde playmaker Ryan Mendes says Sunday’s 2-1 win over Ghana was revenge for their previous AFCON defeat to Ghana.
In February 2013, Mubarak Wakasu scored a brace of goals to send Ghana into the semi-final stage of the competition with a 2-0 win over Cape Verde.
After 11 years, Cape Verde got their much awaited revenge on Sunday thanks to a stoppage time winner.
Speaking at full time, Ryan Mendes who was present in the 2013 defeat, said the result was payback for their previous loss to Ghana.
