Front of their fans, Zambia earned a 1-0 win over Guinea. The hosts took the lead thanks to Patson Daka who scored the winner after 47 minutes.

Groupe B : South African 3 pts, Senegal 1 pt, Sudan 1 pt, Cameroon 0 pt.
Senegal came from behind to claim a 1-1 draw against Sudan. Reduced to 10 men following the Mamadou Diarra’s sending off, the Senegalese have conceded a goal after 20 minutes as the Sudanese midfielder Hassan Hassa has converted a penalty. Senegal will eventually equalize with two minutes remaining thanks to Ibrahima Niane.
Few hours later, South Africa beat Cameroon (3-1). Eric Ayuk gave an early lead to Cameroon but the South Africans reversed the trend thanks to their hero Luther Singh. The Sporting Braga netted a hat-trick : Singh equalized thanks to a powerful free-kick, then he gave the lead to his side as he converted a penalty. The striker scored again in the second half after a fine solo run.
