The result left both teams with one win and four points at the conclusion of Group A, but the Angolans' superior head-to-head record sent them on to the knockout rounds.

Cape Verde - who lost to DR Congo earlier in the competition - topped the group at Kigali Arena thanks to beating hosts Rwanda 82-74.

Joel Almeida and Fidel Mendonça each scored 16 points in the winning effort.

Group winners advance to the quarter-finals, while second- and third-place finishers head to the first knockout round.

Rwanda will play Guinea, who today overcame Egypt 86-78 for a first win of the tournament and to finish third in Group B.

Egypt were second, so await Angola.

Defending champions Tunisia defeated the Central African Republic 68-51 in Group B's other match, cementing top spot with a perfect record.
