'Goaless games' marks boring start to AFCON

[Folami David]

High cold temperatures, hours of diving rain, uninspiring football and no goals marked a trully boring opening day at the African Nations Cup on Saturday the 19th of January 2012.
.
The eagerly-awaited 29th continental tournament, which has improved from humble start in 1957 to an event of global interest, began with a boring 0-0 draw in a virtually dry game between hosts South Africa and debuntants Cape Verde Islands.
.
The opener at Soccer City was followed by a better match between Morocco and Angola at the same stadium but that also ended goaless.
.
The only individuals who appeared satisfied with the 1st day, which most would rather quickly forget, were Cape Verde coach Lucio Antunes and his squad.
.
He was happy they ended the match with a real belief that they can get good enough results against Morocco and Angola in their remaining Group A games to avoid an immediate comeback to their island country at the other end of the continent.
