A double from Henri Camara secured Senegal's victory

Senegal stand top of Group One of 2006 World Cup qualifying on goals scored following their 3-0 defeat of Liberia in Monrovia on Sunday.

Senegal share a goal difference of plus four with Togo, but lead the Hawks, who beat Mali 1-0 in Lome on Sunday, since they have scored more goals.

Senegal and Togo are tied on ten points apiece, as are Zambia courtesy of a 3-2 win over Congo in Brazzaville.

In Monrovia, Senegal took the lead through midfielder Pape Bouba Diop who headed a cross from Abdoulaye Faye past Liberian goalkeeper Louis Crayton after 37 minutes.

The Lions of Teranga led 1-0 at half-time, whereupon dissatisfied supporters of the Lone Star vented their frustration by stoning the police, a sign of things to come.

The second half was delayed as police made security arrangements to stop the fans' missiles, yet the mood in the stadium worsened when Henri Camara doubled Senegal's advantage shortly after half-time.

After Dulee Johnson rattled the Senegalese crossbar, Camara added another for the Teranga Lions to wrap up the scoring with fifteen minutes left.

Lone Star fans reacted by pelting the pitch with a further and larger flurry of missiles, whereupon the referee stopped the game for security reasons, only re-starting play nearly half an hour later.

In Lome, Togo's 1-0 victory over Mali leaves the Eagles rooted to the foot of the table with just two points, eight behind the three group leaders.

The 2004 Cup of Nations semi-finalists have yet to win a match and the Malians appear unlikely to qualify for the next edition of the tournament in Egypt in 2006.

We are still in the race to go to the World Cup Zambia coach Kalusha Bwalya

Emmanuel Adebayor's 23rd-minute goal was enough to down the Eagles, with the forward beating two defenders before slamming the ball home.

Under the guidance of Nigerian coach Stephen Keshi, Togo have not conceded one goal in their last three World Cup qualifiers.

A hat-trick from Collins Mbesuma led Zambia to a hard-earned 3-2 victory over Congo in Brazzaville.

Mbesuma got the Chipolopolo off to a flying start in front of 45,000 fans when he netted after only two minutes.

The Kaizer Chiefs man doubled Zambia's lead shortly before half-time and wrapped up his hat-trick, and a three-goal lead for his side, midway through the second half.

Yet Mbesuma's third sparked a Congo fightback, with Claude Bouanga reducing the arrears in the 76th minute before Armel Mamouna-Ossila ensured a tense finish with another strike in the dying moments.

"We played to our full strength and our players remained detemined from the first whistle until the end," Zambia coach Kalusha Bwalya told BBC Sport.

"We are still in the race to go to the World Cup."

Congo lie fourth in the table at the halfway stage, trailing the group leaders by four points.
