JOHANNESBURG - Chelsea striker Didier
Drogba scored his 41st goal for the Ivory Coast as they
continued their preparations for the African Nations Cup with a
1-0 win over Tanzania on Monday.
Drogba scored six minutes before half-time in Dar-es-Salaam
and his goal proved to be the winner for the Ivorians, who are
the pre-tournament favourites for the January 10-31 finals in
Angola.
Defending champions Egypt beat Mali 1-0 in another warm-up
match in Dubai, second-half substitute Mohamed Nagui finding
the target after an earlier effort from Hossam Ghali was
disallowed for offside.
The Ivory Coast meet Rwanda in Dar-es-Salaam on Thursday in
their last warm-up game, three days before hosts Angola face
Mali in Luanda to get the Nations Cup underway.
