TINY RWANDA upset neighbours Democratic Republic of Congo 1-0 yesterday for their first-ever African Nations Cup victory, only to have a quarter-final place snatched from them when Guinea drew 1-1 with Tunisia.

Defending champions Cameroon opened their African Nations Cup campaign with a 1-1 draw with Algeria, but it is Egypt who are looking good at the top of Group C by virtue of a 2-1 win over Zimbabwe.
