Hammer Cheik Kouyate was awarded the man of the match after Senegal’s 2-0 win over Zimababwe yesterday. Senegal beat Zimbabwe to become the first team to reach the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals.

Liverpool’s Sadio Mane tapped in the opener from close range in the ninth minute, getting on the end of Lazio forward Keita Balde Diao’s low cross. Henri Saivet, on loan at St Etienne from Newcastle, then struck home a 20 yard free-kick four minutes later.

Senegal have a maximum six points from two games in Group B. Tunisia are second with three points and both Algeria and Zimbabwe have a point each.

The 2017 African Cup of Nations (AFCON)  in Gambon runs from 14th January through to the 5th February.  The final will be played at Stade d’Angondjé which is a stadium in Angondjé, a suburb of Libreville in Gabon.
