The African Nations Championship is one of the biggest soccer tournaments in Africa. The first event took place in 2009 and is organized every two years. Only players who play in domestic competitions on a daily basis take part in the competition. Players associated with foreign clubs cannot be called up for the national team. Morocco is the defending champion after beating Mali 2-0 in the 2020 final. In this year’s edition, the teams of Algeria and Senegal will compete for gold. The match for third place between Madagascar and Niger was probably the biggest miss of the tournament.
The Madagascar international scored a miss of the year. He almost missed the empty goal
The situation took place in the added time of the first half. One of the representatives of the largest island on the continent gave a shot from outside the penalty area to the goal of Djibrill Djibo. The goalkeeper of Niger made an effective intervention, bouncing the ball in front of him. Immediately in the vicinity of the “five” appeared a Madagascar, Tokinantenaina Randriatsiferana, who wanted to give his team the lead without taking the lead. The final, however, did not end as the player had hoped. He missed badly. – A unique performance of Tokinantenaina Randriatsiferan – commented the journalist Adam Zmudziński
Finally, Madagascar, after a goal scored in the 90th minute by Jean Razafindrakoto, could enjoy the bronze medal of the African Nations Championship. Previously, the debutantes at the tournament won, among others: with Ghana and Sudan.
