The fifth day of the CAN 2025 qualifiers continued this Friday with several matches played across the continent. In Praia, Cape Verde hosted Egypt at the Cape Verde national stadium. Fighting with Mauritania and Botswana for a place in the final phase, the Blue Sharks were aiming for victory to get closer to their goal. A mission that the Cape Verdeans will only half accomplish. The two teams separated with a score of parity (1-1).

Led on the scoreboard by the Pharaohs on a goal from Taher Mohamed, the Cape Verdeans equalized after returning from the locker room through Ryan Mendes. With this ranking, Cape Verde maintains its third place in group C with 4 points, behind Botswana (2nd, 7 points) and Egypt, leader of the group and already qualified.
