A solid win for Morocco in the end, as they deservedly beat Tanzania 3-0. In the later AFCON match, DR Congo and Zambia drew 1-1.

Tanzania are a growing football nation from what I’ve seen, but yeah I still think Morocco will be too much for them.

Their domestic league is quite popular.

Equatorial Guinea are leading Guinea-Bissau 4-1, it's been an excellent performance from them and with 10 minutes of the match left, they have surely secured the win today.

Guinea-Bissau pull a goal back through Ze Turbo deep in injury time, but it's too little too late as Equatorial Guinea win 4-2.

The Ivory Coast and Nigeria are drawing 0-0 at half-time. It was a pretty even first half, but lets see if any side can get the win in the 2nd half.

Ghana really need to win this match after losing their first game. That was a great goal from Kudus but it will be interesting to see how Egypt respond.

Eventful 5 mins. Egypt equalise through Marmoush, but Ghana retake the lead almost immediately through a deflected Kudus shot.

Yeah a poor back pass was capitalised by Marmoush who did well to round the keeper and slot the ball home for Egypt. But Kudos scored a 2nd goal to help Ghana retake the lead.

And now Egypt have equalised again! Ghana mistake in defence leads to Mustafa Mohamed tapping in.

Ryan Mendes scores Cape Verde's 2nd goal, as he tackled the the Mozambique defender and forced the mistake from him before slotting the ball home past the keeper and into the net. Cape Verde look like they will win their 2nd AFCON match in a row here, after beating Ghana 2-1 in their opening match of the competition. Cape Verde have to be the most overachieving side in Africa, their national team always looks a threat in the AFCON Cup, well certainly in recent years. Not bad for a country with a population of around only half a million people.

Cape Verde 2-0 Mozambique

In the last match of the day, Guinea beat Gambia 1-0 thanks to a goal by Camara. Guinea move to 2nd place in the group with this win, behind group leaders Senegal.

Senegal the favourites to win this I reckon. I've been very impressed with their individual and collective game here.

Senegal have a very strong team and they have looked good. But to be fair, I think they've been given a relatively easy group. Gambia are a weak side, Cameroon have been very disappointing and have not played well. Cameroon played more than 45 minutes with a man advantage against Guinea, after Guinea had a man sent off. But Cameroon couldn't even get a win against 10 man Guinea, as they could only draw 1-1.

Guinea have been the 2nd best team in the group and they will be Senegal's next opponents. However, Guinea have played all their matches so far without their star striker Serhou Guirassy who has been injured. Guirassy though could very well play some minutes against Senegal when Guinea play them in their final group match.

Even if the goalkeeping was bad the strike was ridiculously precise for it to fly in like that. It was a proper thunderbastard.

Yeah fair play he got it on target but there's no way he should be scoring. The goalkeeping is awful

I would agree if it was a random weak shot but the power of it made it look better apart from being on target, but I do agree on the goalkeeping. I'm sure he meant it but I don't think he expected it.

Yeah the goalkeeping being crap. He has no right to be scoring from there.
