Senegal and Nigeria kick started their 2021 African Cup of Nations qualifiers in style.

Nigeria came from behind to grab a 2-1 win against Benin after suffering from a shock early lead from the visitors.

Five time African champions Cameroon put up a lifeless and uninspiring show in their goalless draw with Cape Verde in Yaounde.

Sudan recorded the biggest win with a 4-0 thrashing over Sao Tomé while 2019 AFCON finalist Senegal comfortably beat Congo 2-0.

Only the Gambia clinch an away to Angola.
