Senegal came from behind to claim a 1-1 draw against Sudan.

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.
