• Group C: Nigeria 2-1 Tanzania; Tunisia 3-1 Uganda

• Group D: Senegal 3-0 Botswana; DR Congo 1-0 Benin

Ademola Lookman scored a superb second-half winner as Nigeria earned a 2-1 Group C victory against Tanzania in the pouring rain in Fes, a positive start for the silver medallists from the previous tournament, but one that was not without moments of alarm.

Nigeria were more dominant than the scoreline suggests in terms of possession and chances, but they failed to finish off the contest and were almost made to pay for their wastefulness in front of goal.
