Souleymane Faye’s late goal in the first half sealed the victory for the Senegaleses as Coach Ladan Bosso-led team ended the game with 10-men after substitute Ahmed Abdullahi was sent off for a bad tackle.

The Flying Eagles, who failed to qualify for the previous edition of the tournament in Mauritania,

will hope to bounce back from the defeat to West African rivals when they face hosts Egypt on Wednesday in their second group stage match.

In the first group A match also played on Sunday, Host Egypt played out a goalless draw with Mozambique.
