Dar Es Salaam was the scene for the match between hosts Tanzania and Gambia. Tanzania had an early chance cleared away by desperate defending, but as in their opener against Morocco, Gambia scored the game's opening goal. Saihou Gassama lofted a cross to Momodou Ceesay, who converted to give Gambia a 1-0 lead. Tanzania did not look deterred by the setback even though they entered the half down 1-0.
In the second period, Tanzania found some offense from their defensive line. Shomari Kapombe scored off a bicycle kick on the hour mark to level the match at 1-1. A handball with under ten minutes left to play gave Tanzania a shot to take the lead. The spot kick was nailed, giving Tanzania a lead that they held through to the finish. Tanzania win the match 2-1.
