The coaches Humberto Bettencourt (Cape Verde) and Antonio Conceiçao (Cameroon) have lamented the fact that their last group game at the Olembe Stadium ended in a 1-1 stalemate.
Speaking after the game, both gaffers said they wished to have ended the last group game with a win.
"We managed a positive result even though we wanted to end this group stage with a victory," Bettencourt bemoaned.
"We wanted to finish the group stage with a victory, but the Cape Verde team was good and did not allow us that,"Conceiçao lamented.
