Morocco will look to ease the pressure on themselves by coming out victorious in their second 2013 African Cup of Nations (Afcon) Group A match against Cape Verde at the Moses Mabhida Stadium tonight.

DURBAN — Morocco will look to ease the pressure on themselves by coming out victorious in their second 2013 African Cup of Nations (Afcon) Group A match against Cape Verde at the Moses Mabhida Stadium tonight. Report by Supersport

The encounter will be the second match of the double header in Durban and it will kick-off at 8pm.

Fans couldn’t have asked for a blander start to this year’s Afcon, with the opening two games of Group A having played out to goalless draws.

Cape Verde opened their account in the tournament’s curtain raiser against the host nation South Africa, but it failed to deliver on the vast expectations placed on it.

Poor final touches and a lack of finesse in front of goal was the only thing which stood out on the rain-sodden field, but it will be a result the Blue Sharks will settle with as they are just proud to be debuting in the tournament.
