The African Cup of Nations trophy
|
Senegal remained top of Group Seven of the 2008 African Cup of Nations qualifiers despite being held 1-1 in Tanzania on Saturday.
In the other game in the group on Sunday Mozambique moved into second place in the pool with a 3-0 win over the visiting Burkina Faso.
Mozambique opened the scoring from the penalty spot through Dario Moteiro who converts after Manuel Tico-Tico is fouled inside the area.
Burkina Faso equalised on 38 minutes through Wilfred Sanou.
Mozambique's Tico-Tico then scored twice himself either side of half-time to complete the victory for the hosts
Senegal had to rely on a second-half equaliser from Demba Ba to earn their point.
The goal for The Teranga Lions cancelled out a first-half strike by Nizal Khalifan who lobbed over Tony Sylva, in the Senegal goal, to give The Taifa Stars the lead after only 15 minutes.
Senegal's Diomansy Kamara had a close-range header saved on the line soon after, but it was Tanzania who dominated most of the match.
The match was played in front of a capacity crowd which included Tanzania's president Jakaya Kikwete.
