AFCON review: Ndong and Khazri feature

Catch up on all the Africa Cup of Nations action after two Sunderland players featured in their first games at the tournament.

Gabon 1-1 Guinea-Bissau

Didier Ndong completed 90 minutes as debutants and shock qualifiers Guinea-Bissau stunned hosts Gabon with a stoppage-time equaliser.

Borussia Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang opened the scoring with 52 minutes played, turning home Denis Bouanga’s cross-shot.

But they failed to add to their lead and the opening game of the tournament ended in fireworks when Juary Soares’ diving header snatched a point in the 90th minute.

Tunisia 0-2 Senegal

Wahbi Khazri came off the bench but the damage was already done as Tunisia opened the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations with a 2-0 defeat against Senegal.

Injured against Egypt last week, Khazri was called upon after a scintillating first-half display from Senegal which saw Liverpool’s Sadio Mane open the scoring from the penalty spot on ten minutes.

Kara Mbodj doubled their advantage on the half-hour mark and Tunisia, who wasted a host of chances, were left to rue what might have been.

Lamine Kone v Togo

Lamine Kone will be hoping to start for Ivory Coast when the tournament favourites open their campaign against Togo on Monday (KO 4pm).

Dafabet make the Elephants 1/2 favourites with a Togo win priced at 13/2, and odds of 16/5 available for a draw.
