Having lost their first match to DR Congo by the same margin, the Cheetars now stand a chance of qualifying for the second round of the competition when they take on Senegal in their last group match on Tuesday.
Benin Republic will have to step-up their performance against the Terenga Lions who have won seven of their last nine meetings against the Cheetahs.
