Uganda and Burkina Faso women national teams have been sent out of the of the competition as Group A matches were concluded on Friday night, BSNsports.com.ng report

The Atlas Lioness however, defeated Senegal by a lone goal, courtesy a penalty from the team captain, Ghislane Chebbak in the first half.

In the other game, Burkina Faso and Uganda settled for a 2-2 draw but the scoreline was not enough to take any of the two teams into the next round.

Goalkeeping errors aided the two sides to their victories as Burkina Faso needed to respond on two occasions after the East Africans had taken the lead.

Margret Kunihira put Uganda in the lead and the amazing solo effort from Adama Congo drew her side level before Naomie Kabre's fortuitous effort cancelled out Sandra Nabweteme’s goal.

With both sides finishing the group with one point each, they will have no chance of progressing from the entertaining Group A.

Morocco will now play the best third-placed teams from either group B or C in the quarter-final while second-place Senegal will face the winner of Group B.

Winners of the quarter-final matches will secure qualification to the 2023 Fifa Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
