The Angolan national team delivered a resounding 3-0 win over Central African Republic on Tuesday, June 9, in Casablanca. The Palancas Negras handed Aliou Cissé his first triumph at the helm of the Angolan squad.

The match turned early on. Débo opened the scoring in just the seventh minute. Captain Mabululu doubled the advantage in the 26th minute, and before the final whistle, Ary Francisco Ady Papel sealed the victory with a third goal in the 79th minute.

A relatively convincing first gathering for Aliou Cissé! ✅

🟠 1-1 Mauritania 🇲🇷
🟢 3-0 Central African Republic 🇨🇫

There are things to review, but also plenty of positives—especially the debut of newcomers who managed to represent the national team for the very first time!

After a 1-1 draw against Mauritania a few days ago, Angola regained their confidence. The Palancas Negras showed resilience, efficiency, and a powerful attacking style.

The Senegalese coach's era is off to a highly promising start. This three-goal victory sends a strong message ahead of upcoming challenges in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. Cissé’s project is already taking shape after this international window.
