Cape Verde forward Ryan Mendes says his outfit objective is to secure qualification to the knockout stage at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast.
Mendes featured when Cape Verde inflicted a 2-1 win over the four-time African champions on Sunday night.
After the game, Mendes asserted the victory was revenge for the defeat suffered in South Africa years ago while he aims at qualifying from the Group B to the knockout stage.
"The other time there were big more players like Asamoah Gyan, you know. It was difficult for us in South Africa but tonight like I told you we took our revenge and we need to continue like this because the target is to reach the next stage," he said after the match.
Cape Verde are on top of the table with three points after first round games in Group B.
Meanwhile, the Black Stars now find themselves in a challenging position in Group following the defeat. They are currently bottom on the table without a point.
The West Africa powerhouse will face Egypt on Thursday in their second group B clash.
