CHAN 2024: Kapombe's last-gasp goal sends Tanzania six points clear

The match at the Dar es Salaam Mkapa national stadium was heading for a goalless draw before the veteran Simba FC right back got the chance to score the decisive goal in the 89th minute.

The result puts Tanzania on course for the quarter-finals

Burkina Faso moved into second spot in the group after defeating Central African Republic (CAR) 4-2 in a bad-tempered match.

The Burkinabes, competing in their fourth CHAN finals, struck first through Patrick Quattara after just 11 minutes.

But the lead was short-lived as Sydney Tchibinda levelled for the debutants four minutes later with a stunning free kick at the far corner, for their first-ever CHAN goal.

Burkina Faso stepped up the pressure when they were awarded two second half penalties as frustrations set into the match.

Hardworking striker Abdoul Karim Baguian played an instrumental role in the two last goals.

After being brought down in the box, which resulted in the second penalty, the 29-year-old uSFA Ouagadougou striker was on the mark six minutes later for the fourth goal which put the result beyond doubt.

Ange Zoumara scored the consolation goal for CAR five minutes into injury time but it was not enough.
