Jhoannesburg: Ebrahima Sory Keita and Haithem Jouini scored twice each as hosts Senegal and Tunisia made winning starts on Saturday in the African 2016 Olympic Games football qualifying tournament. Keita struck twice within six first-half minutes to help Senegal overcome South Africa 3-1 in the opening match of Group A and the 15-day competition at Stade Leopold Sedar Senghor in Dakar. The second game of a double-header at the 60,000-seat national stadium was closer with Jouini completing his brace six minutes from time to earn Tunisia a 2-1 win over Zambia. South Africa were the more impressive side before falling behind when Keita converted a 16th-minute penalty after flying winger Ismaila Sarr was pushed off the ball.
