Although labelled as underdogs, Mauritania forward Ismael Diakite is confident his country will get a victory over Angola in their second game at the ongoing 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) on Saturday.
Tournament debutants Mauritania were hammered 4-1 by Mali in their opening Group E fixture, but Diakite has assured it would be a different ball game against Palancas Negras on Saturday.
Diakite is arguably his country's biggest goal threat and despite the deflating previous defeat, he insists his team-mates still have eyes on a last-16 place.
