Tanzania extend winning run in Unaf tournament with Algeria win

Tanzania extended their winning start in the Union of North African Federations (Unaf) women's tournament, with a 3-2 victory over Algeria at the Karam Stadium on Sunday.

The Twiga Stars, who are competing as guests in the five-nation event, opened their campaign with a 7-0 thrashing of Mauritania and were aiming to build on their fine start against the Algerians.

The East Africans started the contest brightly with Mwanaahamesi Oumari firing them in front after just eight minutes in the match.
