Atalanta Lookman knocks out Angola, Luvumbo returns to Cagliari

The rossoblù's journey in the Africa Cup of Nations stops at the quarter-finals, where his national team had never reached

Zito Luvumbo (Ansa)

He tried, Zito Luvumbo . And in the 89th minute he was about to take the match to extra time, with one of his shots on the turn. His arrival on the pitch, which occurred in the 66th minute, changed the momentum of a match that was decidedly in favor of Nigeria . But it wasn't enough.

Angola is eliminated from the Africa Cup of Nations at the quarter-finals , where it had never reached in its history. A goal from Atalanta's Ademola Lookman was decisive , breaking the deadlock in the 41st minute, giving the Super Eagles qualification to the semi-finals.

Luvumbo, therefore, returns to Sardinia. The return will take place between tomorrow and Sunday, and therefore it is impossible to hypothesize a presence of the number 77 on Monday, in the match against Roma. He will be fully available for the match on February 10th, against Lazio .
