Kenya have defeated an improving Senegal side 29-17 to sound warning shots early in Match Day one of the Africa Cup on Saturday, July 20 in Kampala, Uganda.    

 A determined Senegal side tried to claw its way back into the match using a heavy pack of towards.  

 The Simbas rallied early on, scoring three tries with a swift exchange of backline play. 

 Big eigthman Abdelkarim Fafaya’s late try for Senegal briefly swung the momentum in favour of the West Africans, but Kenya had done enough at that time to get the result.
