They needed a draw to qualify.
The Mauritanians did better by winning without trembling on the lawn of the Fauves de Centrafrique this March 30, 2021 during the sixth and last day of the CAN 2021 qualifiers, in group E. The RCA, which could also dream of a first qualification for the CAN, missed its meeting in front of a Mauritania which better approached this meeting under tension.
After having well managed the offensive tendencies of the Fauves at the start of the meeting, Corentin Martins' men took their chances on one of their rare occasions to crucify their opponents.
Aboubakar Kamara will indeed shower the Central Africans by scoring a precious goal in the stoppage of the first period (45 + 4).
The Dijon striker sends his country for his second in the African Cup after his first participation in 2019.
There is therefore no longer any stake in the group's other match between Morocco and Burundi (19h UT).
The Atlas Lions are already qualified and assured of finishing first in the group, Burundi, for its part is definitively eliminated after the success of Mauritania.
