Actions once again move to group D where Tunisia face Nigeria before Niger face Gunea. Nigeria leads the group while Tunisia and Guinea will be seeking to restore hopes of making the last eight after both sides drew 2-2 when they met.
The following are actions from the last two days:
Rwanda 2-1 Gabon
Rwanda continued their outstanding performance at the 2016 African Nations Championship with a 2-1 win against Gabon on Wednesday.
A brace from Sugira Ernest ensured that the Amavubi were registered in the quarterfinals of the tournament with a game to spare.
Sugira Ernest scored the opening goal for the hosts in the 43rd minute of play with a thunderous effort.
Sugira was on the mark again for his second goal two minutes after the interval before Aaron Boupendza pulled one back in the 55th minute for Gabon, who were reduced to ten men when defender Tchen Kabi was sent off for a second bookable offence.
Morocco 0-1 Cote d'Ivoire
Atlas Lions suffered a defeat in their second game against the Elephant at the on going African Nations Championship in Rwanda.
Ivorian striker Yannick Zakri converted from the spot on the stroke of half time to earn his side the three points and leave Morocco at the brink of an early elimination.
DR Congo 4-2 Angola
DR Congo continued their impressive form in Day 6 of the African Nations Championship in Rwanda getting all three points.
Nelson Munganga’s early goal in the sixth minutes from a powerful strike gave the Leopards an advantage in the game.
Elia Mechak made it two in the 16th minute before Jonathan Bangala sealed the win with the third in the 36th minute of the first half.
On the hour mark of the game, Gelson pulled one back for the Sable Antelopes but it was followed by a counter response from Merveille Bope in the 81st minute of the game. Adriano Duarte added his name on the goal sheet but it was not enough to rescue Romeu Filemon’s men.
DR Congo now sit comfortably top of Group B with six points while Angola remain last on the table with zero point from two defeats.
Ethiopia 0-0 Cameroon
Ethiopia and Cameroon shared the spoils in Day 6 of the tournament bringing the two teams in dangerous position to make quarterfinal spots.
The Indomitable Lions showed promising start in the game with early shot from Dore Kombi flying over the bar.
Eliyas Mamo could have broken the deadlock for Walia Ibex in the 27th minute but his promising effort went away from the goal line.
The second half on the game was more like the first with attempts going off the posts and in the end, both teams shared the spoils.
Alexandre Belinga's men sit second on the log with four points while Romeu Filemon's team occupy third position with a point.
