\"AlgeriaAlgeria defeated Senegal 1-0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

2019 AFCON Day 7 Wrap recaps all the action, featuring, Algeria, Senegal, Tanzania and Kenya.<\/p>\n

Group B:<\/b><\/p>\n

Following their 1-0 win over Burundi in their second group stage game, Madagascar are getting closer to reaching the round of 16.<\/p>\n

The first chance of the game came when Madagascar forward Carolus Andriamatsinoro\u2019s powerful shot was saved by Jonathan Nahimana. Later on Carolus took a powerful header but it was cleared of the line by a Burundi defender.<\/p>\n

Burundi\u2019s first real chance came at the beginning of the second-half when former England U-20 Ga\u00ebl Bigirimana took a well placed free kick but was denied by Amiens\u2019 Melvin Adrien.<\/p>\n

In the 76th minute Marco Ilaimaharitra broke the deadlock with a powerful free kick just on the edge of the penalty area.<\/p>\n

Madagascar currently sit second in Group B with four points, two behind Nigeria. They will need at least a point in their next encounter against the Super Eagles to reach the round of 16.<\/p>\n

Group C:<\/b><\/p>\n

In the first game of the day for Group C, Algeria faced Senegal in a game that could very much decide the group\u2019s fate.<\/p>\n

The first-half was pretty balanced with Senegal slightly dominating possession, however neither side was able to produce a clear opportunity.<\/p>\n

Just four minutes into the second half Algeria broke the deadlock as Feghouli cut the ball back to Belaili at the edge of the box where he rifled a shot into the corner of the goal.<\/p>\n

This result meant that Algeria are now the third team to secure their place in the round of 16 after Nigeria and Egypt.<\/p>\n

Later on, Kenya were able to produce a dramatic comeback when they beat Tanzania 3-2 in their second group stage game.<\/p>\n

Just six minutes into the game Happygod Msuvan opened the scoring for Tanzania, scoring his sixth international goal.<\/p>\n

In the 39th minute Michael Olungo scored the equalizer with an outstanding volley inside the 18 yard box. A minute later, highly-rated Tanzanian striker Mbwana Samatta put his side back infront by placing the ball between the goalkeeper\u2019s legs and into the back of the net.<\/p>\n

Then in the 62nd minute Johanna Omulu equalized for Kenya with a powerful following Ayub Timbe\u2019s cross. Ten minutes before the final whistle Olungo completed his brace and gifted the Harambee Stars the win.<\/p>\n

This result means that Kenya will be battling for the second spot in their next game against Senegal on July 1 in the 30 June Stadium.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
