Afcon 2019: Madagascar are capable of winning - Anicet Abel

Abel Anicet believes Madagascar remain capable of winning the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations after sending Democratic Republic of Congo packing on Sunday.

The debutants reached the quarterfinal of the competition with Anicet the hero in the 4-2 penalty shoot-out triumph over Florent Ibenge’s men, after scores stood at 2-2 at 120 minutes.

Marcel Tisserand and Yannick Bolasie were the villains as they failed to beat goalkeeper Melvin Adrien from the penalty mark.

After his man-of-the match honour, the Ludogorets Razgrad midfielder noted his side’s fine run in Egypt proves they can challenge for the trophy.
