Cheikhou Kouyate and Andre Ayew were both on the winning side at the start of the 2017 CAF Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon.

Kouyate skippered Senegal to a 2-0 Group B victory over Tunisia in Franceville, and the team now tops the the group following Algeria’s 2-2 draw with Zimbabwe – their opponents tomorrow (Thurs).

Ayew was the match-winner as Avram Grant’s Ghana beat Uganda 1-0 in Port-Gentil, scoring from the spot after Asamoah Gyan had been fouled inside the box.

Ghana meet Mali in the second Group D fixture against on Saturday.

Both matches will be broadcast live in the UK by Eurosport.
