Victorious over Namibia (5-4), this Friday April 12, for the first day of the Futsal CAN, Mauritania scared itself with a second period that was far from reassuring. Which alerted the Mourabitounes coach, Abdallah Selami at a post-match press conference.

“We have to improve. The pitfall for this match was the lack of knowledge of the Namibian game. It wasn’t easy for us, even though we led in the first half by four goals. The lack of experience of the majority of players and the pressure linked to their first participation in the CAN is what pushed us to make some mistakes,” declared the technician.
