- When the Sable Antelopes of Angola play Nigeria on Friday, February 2, they will be without their first-choice goalkeeper, Adilson Cipriano da Cruz, also known as Neblu.
In the ongoing CAF African Cup of Nations (AFCON) match between his team and the Brave Warriors of Namibia, Neblu was given a red card.
According to reports, the team has been informed by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) that their goalie will not be playing against Nigeria’s Super Eagles at the AFCON.
Despite being kicked off the field for handling the ball outside of his penalty area, Neblu’s team still prevailed with three goals, according to Soccernet.ng.
