The goalkeeper of the Geneva Promotion League club Etoile Carouge unexpectedly makes his African Cup debut. Because regular goalkeeper Neblu was sent off with a red card after twenty minutes for a handball outside the penalty area, backup goalkeeper Antonio was thrown into the deep end. And Antonio does a good job and keeps the slate clean.

Now he faces the biggest match of his career as Angola next takes on Nigeria in the round of the last eight. The “Super Eagles” in turn won the round of 16 2-0 against Cameroon. Given the suspension of the number one, Antonio should also be in goal in the next match. From the third highest Swiss league to the spotlight of the Africa Cup – stories that only football writes!
