Nigeria did not allow the hosts to settle and where already two goals ahead in the 10th minute and held on to the lead until half time despite some relentless pressure from the hosts.

Senegal finally made a breakthrough but Nigeria added another immediately after to kill the game.

In the late kick off, Congo rallied from behind to hold Ivory Coast to a 1 – 1 draw.
