Afcon 2019: Our initial goal has already been achieved- Angola coach Vasiljevic

Angola coach Srdjan Vasiljevic has said he will be glad to see his team progress to the last 16 of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon).

The Serbian, however, insists that qualification for the tournament in Egypt was the main goal for his team and that goal has been achieved.

Angola missed out on back-to-back Afcon editions in 2015 and 2017 but they were able to make the cut with the extended 24-team format this time around.
