The Teranga Lions and Elephants lived up to their pre-tournament hype to seal the top two places in Group B.
It was entertainment galore in Group B at the African Nations Championship, CHAN, as favourites Senegal and Ivory Coast booked their tickets to the last eight.
A total of seven goals were scored in the last round of matches in the group, an average of over three goals per game.
Senegal thrashed DR Congo 3-0 to win the group while their Ivorian counterparts were too good for Uganda after a 3-1 win.
The stars of the show
Teranga Lions of Senegal ensured their journey in CHAN 2022 will continue following an emphatic performance against ten-man Congo, who had Kevin Mundako sent off.
Senegal defeated the two-time winners in their final match played at the 19 May 1956 Stadium in Annaba to secure their place in the knock-out stage of the ongoing tournament in Algeria.
Osmane Diouf's first-half strike had the Lions on their way to victory before two more goals in the second half from 18-year-old Pape Diallo and an own goal by Siadi Baggio ensured the West Africans finished at the top.

For the Elephants
It was a thrilling game at the new Nelson Mandela Stadium in Algiers as a Karamoko Sankara-inspired Ivory Coast sent home a stubborn Ugandan side.
Two quick goals from Sankara, who also assisted the winner, and Patrick Ouotro gave the Ivorians a 2-0 lead in the opening 27 minutes.
Moses Waiswa pulled one back for the Cranes heading into the break but Ivory Coast sealed the win when Aubin Kramo made it 3-1 with 12 minutes left to play.
