  "account": "In an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier, Angola defeated 10-man South Sudan 2-0 with substitute players Chico Banza and Miro scoring in added time. Defender Geriga Atendele was sent off early in the second half after head-butting Pedro Bondo, who left the pitch on a stretcher. Angolan coach Aliou Cisse made six substitutions, one more than normally allowed due to Bondo's concussion. Despite South Sudan's courageous defense in the Group B match, their players grew fatigued during 11 minutes of added time. Junior Sambu, Gilberto and Banza exploited gaps in the crowded South Sudanese defense to secure the victory. The first goal was scored by Banza with a close-range shot on 92 minutes, though there were doubts about offside due to TV replays. Miro capitalized on a dribble by Zito Luvumbo to score the second goal on 98 minutes. Angola's win puts them level with record seven-time champions Egypt on points, but behind on goal difference.",
