The holders of the Senegal cup marked with their only shot on the door after a thin assault that made fun of the goalkeeper Lawal Mustapha outside his goalpost and allowed Senegalese attackers the opportunity to mark the only goal of the group B Group B Group B in Zanzibar in Zanzibar Tuesday.

The high -level meeting on the island of the Indian Ocean was up to its turnover, with both teams combined the strength and the pace for peace for great bands of the game at the Amaan stadium.

The goalkeeper Lawal Mustapha read a good cross quite well from the left to the 21st minute, and the 33rd minute, the Lions of Teranga approached a free kick on the right.

Despite the dominant possession and the launch of virile bodies during the friction, the Eagles were not short of clear opportunities, while the rivals of West Africa defended themselves with resolution.

Leonard NGenge and Captain Junior Nduka worked hard in the back, just like Tochukwu Michael and Olamiilekan AdeDayo in midfield, but Senegal launched several men to every Nigerian assault and denied the clear view of the eagles.

With a minute left, the cup holders could have added another goal with a team move that flows, but Ngenge and Nduka were available to free their lines.

The defeat means that the Eagles occupy the bottom of the group D without point, following the previous 1-1 draw between Congo and Sudan, which meant that the two teams shared the loot.

Subsequently for Nigeria is their second game of the group phase, against Sudan, also at the Amaan stadium, on Tuesday next week.
