The tiny island nation needed a late penalty which was converted by Ryan Mendes to beat Mauritania 1-0 on Monday night.

In the second game of the day, Ivory Coast progressed after seeing off defending champions Senegal via penalty kicks.

The match ended 1-1 in regulation time after Franck Kessie’s penalty cancelled out Habib Diallo’s early goal.
