• In the history of Football and Afcon, this would be the two-side first meeting and tournament.

• The two goalless draws in Group A seemed to have set a trend for the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations, as there has only been one win and five draws so far.

• The opening 0-0 draw between South Africa and Cape Verde meant Cape Verde picked up their first point in their first Afcon tournament.

• Morocco, beaten finalists in 2004 and winners in 1976, believe they have the team capable of reaching the final in 2013.

• Morocco lost their first leg encounter against Mozambique 2-0 on their road to the finals, but was able to overturn the result with a 4-0 victory at home.

• Cape Verde, 70th in the Fifa World rankings, is the highest ranked team in Group A.
