Algeria pulled off an impressive comeback against Togo, as they won 5-1 after falling behind early in the match. Riyad Mahrez and his compatriots showed relentlessness with Said Benrahma stealing the show with his brace.<\/p>\n
The hosts made sure to take home all three points, and so did Zimbabwe on the other side of the continent. The Warriors won their match against Namibia 1-0, with Khama Billiat completing an emotional return to international football.<\/p>\n
Namibia will be disappointed to remain at the bottom of the Group J standings following their impressive showing in their maiden Afcon earlier this year. The side still has not collected any points thus far.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, Ghana rued their missed chances in their encounter against Sudan which produced a 0-0 stalemate. Otto Addo\u2019s men are now under immense pressure as they remained third on two points because of the result.<\/p>\n
DR Congo won 1-0 against Tanzania earlier in the day and Botswana recorded a surprise victory with the same scoreline over Cape Verde.<\/p>\n
Burkina Faso also impressed in their clash against Burundi, beating the country 4-1 at the Alassane Ouattara Ebimpe Olympic Stadium, with Dango Outtara going all out to score a brace in the fixture.<\/p>\n
