It is Congo Kinshasa who started the game well but failed to capitalise on the chances created. Two minutes after the break, they got their breakthrough. A good ball from the left was not cleared and it fell to Ushindi who curled it past the goalkeeper to ensure his team go top of the group with maximum points from the one game played. The scorer was later substituted in the 61st minute with Kadima Kabangu taking his place. In an earlier match at the same venue, Libya and Niger played to a goalless draw. The North Africans came into the match as favourites owing to their recent run against th...

The two-time champions were rewarded in the 20th minute when Lilepo rose highest to head home a corner kick. However, that goal did little to stop determined Cameroon from pushing for goals. They upped their tempo, throwing everything they got on attack amid cheers from their fans. Finally, the Central Africa nation managed to get an equalizer in the 28th minute. Goalkeeper Ley Matampi failed to clear the danger in his area, and the ball fell in the path of Ndjeng for an easy tap-in, much to the relief of their fans. The winning goal came in the 41st minute when Tcheoude's strike took a wicke...

However, the teams were on level terms a minute after the break. The Congolese started the second half slowly and were punished by Moussa, who also headed in a cross after the defenders gave him space in the danger zone.  With the game tied at 1-1 and seemingly headed for a draw, goalkeeper Abdoul Razak Halidou made a blunder that cost his team a chance in the next round. He received a back pass and in his attempt to clear, he handed the ball to Masasi who did not hesitate to tap the ball into an empty net and ensure his charges qualified to the next phase of the competition.  

On the other hand, the Mediterranean Knights had shared the spoils with Niger as they settled to a goalless draw in their opening game of the group played last Sunday. Libya made their intentions known as early as the fifth minute. They won a corner and the skipper, who was unmarked, rose highest to head the ball past helpless Nathan Thumu. Moments later, Fiston Mayele had a great opportunity to score the equalizer when the defenders failed to clear a dangerous ball. The forward had only goalkeeper Ahmed Azzaqa to beat but he failed to hit the back of the net.
