Souleymane Faye grabbed the only goal of the match in the 40th minute to take his country top of the group. The slim win means that Senegal are now the Group A leaders after the host country, Egypt, were forced to a goalless draw by Mozambique.

The young Pharaohs did everything to win the match but were frustrated by the defensive sagacity of Mozambique which thwarted all efforts of the hosts.

Meanwhile, Flying Eagles put a lot of pressure on Senegal after going behind but the Junior Teranga Lions showed resilience and withstood the threats posed by their opponents, leading to the 1-0 loss.
