Amir Abdou added that they will quickly move on from the defeat and continue working hard for the next game against Angola.
“We are not going to slumber in sorrow. We need to move on from this and prepare ourselves for the next game which is against Angola,” he added.
Mauritania are currently at the bottom of Group D with no point.
