Senegal has secured a win over DR Congo in Group E of the African Cup of Nations 2012 qualifiers, winning by 4 goals to 2 thanks to a hat-trick from Mamadou Niang.
The match, held at The Kenya Stadium in Lubumbashi in the Democratic Republic of The Congo, was a noisy affair with strong support for the home team. Despite this the visitors led 3-0 after just 19 minutes following a strike by Samba Almany Sow in the fifth minute and then two goals by Niang. Congo’s Anawina Kabangu scored in the 45th minute to give the home team some hope but the game was put beyond their reach in the 68th minute when Niang completed his hat-trick – with the score 1-4 to Senegal. Kabangu got a late goal for Congo making the final score 2-4.
