CAPE TOWN, Oct 9 (Reuters) – African champions Algeria maintained their two-year unbeaten run with a 1-0 win over Nigeria in the Austrian Alps on Friday on a busy night of international football for African countries.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Mali upset Ghana 3-0 in their meeting in Turkey, Morocco beat Senegal 3-1 at home while Cameroon held Japan to a goalless draw in their friendly in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

There were also wins for Burkina Faso, Gambia, Kenya, Mauritania and Tunisia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Rami Bensebaini\u2019s sixth-minute goal, scrambled home from a corner, was enough to ensure victory for Algeria in Sankt Veit an der Glan, where Nigeria are hosting a week-long training camp.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Algeria have now gone 15 games without defeat over the last two years, including winning the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

They are among a host of African countries who have decamped to Europe for the international window to play friendlies ahead of next month\u2019s resumption of the African Cup of Nations qualifiers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

With the bulk of many teams’ squads drawn from players based at European clubs, it has been easier to play the games in Europe than in Africa amid COVID-19 travel restrictions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Mali scored through captain Hamari Traore after three minutes, with El Bilal Toure and Amadou Haidara adding second-half goals as they upset a strong Ghana side, including new Arsenal signing Thomas Partey, in Antalya, Turkey.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Senegal had to do without talisman Sadio Mane, who tested positive for COVID-19 last week, as they went down 3-1 in Rabat to Morocco.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Morocco used Hakim Ziyech as a second-half substitute despite Chelsea\u2019s new signing having yet to make his debut for his club because of an early-season injury.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Burkina Faso enjoyed a one-sided 3-0 victory over the Democratic Republic of Congo with new Aston Villa signing Bertrand Traore among the scorers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Assan Ceesay scored the only goal as the Gambia upset Congo 1-0 in their friendly played in Portugal while Mauritania won 2-1 at home against Sierra Leone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Tunisia were 3-0 home winners against Sudan while Kenya beat a home-based Zambia side 2-1 in Nairobi.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The games were the first played by African countries since last November. (Editing by Toby Davis)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
