The Tanzanians started their campaign with a heavy 4-0 loss to West African heavyweights Ghana.
A Precious Boah double, a sublime Abdul Fatawu Issahaku effort and a late Joselpho Barnes strike ensured three points for the Black Satellites in the group opener at Stade Municipal de Nouadhibou in Mauritania on February 16.
They followed it up with a 1-1 draw against Gambia. Novatus Dismas 88th-minute free-kick earned Tanzania a point in their 1-1 draw with Gambia.
The young Scorpions, who scored first through Momodou Bojang s volley five minutes prior to half-time, looked to be headed for their first win of the championship until Dismas struck late on.

Earlier on Friday, Tanzania came from behind to hold Gambia to a 1-1 draw, leaving the two teams also tied with a point each but with the latter sitting up on third position owing to a superior goal difference following their narrow 1-0 loss to Morocco on matchday one.
On Monday, Ghana will take on Gambia as Tanzania face Morocco in the last round of group games. The top two teams at the end of the series secured qualification to the quarter-finals of the competition.
Ghana coach Abdul Karim Zito made one change to the team that handed Tanzania the thrashing, with Patrick Mensah replacing Eric Ansu Appiah.
