Senegal beat Benin 2-1 but I've no idea about the teams or who scored.

There was some controversy before the match. Senegal should have been playing Angola in a friendly but pulled out and arranged the match with Benin in Rouen instead. Bolton's El Hadj Diouf, the Senegalese captain, and a couple of other players pulled out because of the short-notice and accused their national organisers of amateurism. And Benin fired their French coach just before the match after only two weeks in the job - and no games!
