They are considered underdogs again here, yet with two clean sheets from their three group games, they could prove a tough nut to crack for Angola.
Thus far, it has been a tournament of dreams for Angola, as they are one of just six teams to amass at least seven points in the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) .
