Final Tournament (Angola)

NB: Angola qualified as hosts. January 10-31 2010, in Angola Group A 10- 1-10 Luanda Angola 4-4 Mali [Flavio 36,42 Gilberto 67 [pen], Manucho 74 [pen] - Keita 79,93 Kanoute 88, Yatabare 94] 11- 1-10 Luanda Malawi 3-0 Algeria [Mwafulirwa 17, Kafoteka 35, Banda 48] 14- 1-10 Luanda Mali 0-1 Algeria [Halliche 43] 14- 1-10 Luanda Angola 2-0 Malawi [Flavio 48, Manucho 54] 18- 1-10 Luanda Angola 0-0 Algeria 18- 1-10 Cabinda Mali 3-1 Malawi [Kanoute 1, Keita 5, Bugayoko 85 - Mwafulirwa 58] 1.ANGOLA 3 1 2 0 6- 4 5 2.ALGERIA 3 1 1 1 1- 3 4 [1 1 0 0 1-0 3] 3.Mali 3 1 1 1 7- 6 4 [1 0 0 1 0-1 0] 4.Malawi 3 1 0 2 4- 5 3 NB: thanks to the head-to-head tie-breaker and the comfortable lead Mali had taken in the simultaneous match against Malawi, both Angola and Algeria played their second half in the knowledge that a (0-0) draw would most likely qualify both, and were thereby in a situation comparable to that of West Germany and Austria at the 1982 World Cup, in which the result of their match (1-0 to West Germany) eliminated Algeria. When Egypt and Cameroon arranged a 0-0 draw at the African Youth Championship 2001 in Ethiopia, CAF denied both teams points for the match; however, then the hosts had been the intended victims and not the perpetrators. Group B 11- 1-10 Cabinda Ivory Coast 0-0 Burkina Faso 15- 1-10 Cabinda Ivory Coast 3-1 Ghana [Gervinho 23, Tiene 66, Drogba 90 - Gyan 93 [pen]] [Sent Off: Eboue [IC] 55 mins] 19- 1-10 Luanda Burkina Faso 0-1 Ghana [A Ayew 30] [Sent Off: Tall [BF] 66 mins] 1.IVORY COAST 2 1 1 0 3- 1 4 2.GHANA 2 1 0 1 2- 3 3 3.Burkina Faso 2 0 1 1 0- 1 1 -.Togo withdrew NB: Togo withdrew after an attack by Cabinda rebel forces on their team bus on January 8th killed an assistant trainer and a press officer, and seriously injured several players, in spite of the bus being accompanied by Angolan armed forces (whose presence presumably provoked the attack; these Angolan forces apparently sustained no casualties but miserably failed in protecting their guests); the local organisation committee and CAF issued some half-hearted condoleances, at the same time reproaching Togo for travelling by bus (they came from a training camp in nearby Congo-Brazzaville) and held a 20-second "minute" of silence before the opening match of the tournament two days after the attack (no black armbands or anything). On January 30th, the day before the final, the CAF executive committee saw fit to ban Togo from the next two editions of the African championship for 'government interference' and fined them USD 50,000. In contrast, CAF (or FIFA) have not been in any hurry to deal with the attack by Egyptian fans (unhindered by the local police which accompanied the bus from the airport to the hotel) on the Algerian team bus (injuring several players) two days prior to their final group match in the qualifying tournament on November 14, 2009 in Cairo.
