In group C, Senegal got the wake up call and out muscled Kenya 3-0 with Sadio Mane scoring a brace.
Algeria beat Tanzania 3-0 to top group C with 9 points.
Namibia’s out come was almost predictable in group D where in the Elephants prevailed over them 4-1. They left the group with no point while scoring 1 goal in the process. A difficult experience for them but they seem to have learned the lesson.
South Africa failed to shine in their last group D game as they lost 1-0 to group leaders Morocco. On 3 points with just 1 goal scored in three games, Bafana Bafana’s chances of making round two is very slim.
