Tanzania was forced to settle for a 1-1 draw against Madagascar<\/strong> in the second round of Africa Cup of Nations qualification, despite taking a first-half lead through Cyprian Kachwele<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Taifa Stars struck in the 39th minute when Kachwele converted following good work from Feisal Salum<\/strong>, giving Tanzania a valuable advantage heading into the break. Madagascar, however, responded quickly after the restart, with Nicolas Fontaine<\/strong> equalizing in the 50th minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neither side found a decisive second goal, leaving Tanzania with a point from a competitive encounter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just five minutes into the second half, Nicolas Fontaine leveled the contest<\/strong>, finishing from an assist by Ehsen Kari<\/strong> to make it 1-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the contest moved into its final stages, Tanzania made several changes in search of fresh energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simon Msuva replaced goalscorer Kachwele in the 69th minute<\/strong>, while Charles M’Mombwa came on for Feisal Salum shortly afterward. Pascal Msindo and Seleman Mwalimu were also introduced in the 81st minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Madagascar made changes of their own, but neither team produced the breakthrough needed to claim all three points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
