Hosts Angola this time held on to victory against Malawi (2:0) yesterday in the African Nations Cup to move top of their group. Striker Manucho (in red) of Spanish side Real Valladolid, the highest ranked Angolan player on the FTBL chart, scored one of the goals, picking up 8.16 rating points in our system to further boost his score to 78.41 points.
Manucho has added 14 points in our system since the beginning of Africa’s premier football tournament. He is also the highest ranked player at Valladolid. In our world ranking of forwards, Manucho is still buried deep inside the ranks in 201st place.
In the 3rd game against Algeria Manucho will face a plank of 12.87 points to beat. Another goal is certain to earn him a bonus, notwithstanding the result of the game.
