A hat-trick from Famara Diedhiou helped Senegal win 4-1 away to eSwatini as the second round of group games in 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying got underway.

In other early matches on Sunday, there were wins for Burkina Faso, Mali, Uganda, South Africa and Benin.

Senegal, the 2019 Nations Cup runners-up, made it two wins from two in Group I in a match that was interrupted by a rain-storm.

Diedhiou had a chance to give Senegal an early lead against eSwatini but the Bristol City striker missed a 10th minute penalty.

He made amends in the second half in difficult conditions, scoring a quick-fire hat-trick with goals in the 59th, 66th and 68th minutes.

In an eventful match, eSwatini came straight back with a 70th minute goal from Fganelo Mamba but Mamba was then sent off shortly after his strike for two bookings.

Senegal took advantage and scored a fourth through Badou Ndiaye to make it 4-1 to the visitors.

Elsewhere, a brace from veteran striker Aristide Bance earned Burkina Faso a 2-1 victory away to South Sudan in Group B.
