At half-time, Benin lead Mauritania 1-0 in Group F of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

The Cheetahs temporarily top the group

A magnificent goal from Rodolfo Aloko in the 31st minute, set up by Charlemagne Azongnitode, makes the difference. With this result, the Cheetahs move temporarily into first place in Group F.

After holding Burkina Faso to a 1-1 draw at the Stade du 4 Août in Ouagadougou, Gernot Rohr’s men are continuing their momentum.

Mauritania must respond

The Mourabitounes, who had beaten the Central African Republic 3-1 in the opening round, will be looking to respond in the second half. In the other Group F match, the Wild Beasts were beaten yesterday by Burkina Faso’s Stallions. Another 45 minutes remain to decide the outcome of Group F after this second round of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
