The African Nations Championship, Rwanda 2016, has kicked off with the host country beating Ivory Coast in the tournament's opening game.
Bayiseng Emery gave the host country the lead in the 15th minute of the game, and that eventually put Rwanda on top of Group A table temporarily with three points, pending when the second game will be played.
Rwanda would have made it two in the 62nd minute via a spot kick but Ivory Coast's goalkeeper. Badra Ali Sangare denied the host nation the second goal, to keep their goal deficit on a low.
The second group A game will be played 6pm Nigerian time with Gabon playing Morocco and the result will determine who stays top on the log.
