Benin's long wait for a first win at the Africa Cup of Nations continued on Saturday as they were held to a goalless draw by Guinea-Bissau in Ismailia, Egypt.
The draw was the third consecutive match without a victory for Benin in the competition, dating back to their debut in 2004.
Only Mozambique, with 12 matches, have played more games in the competition without recording a win.
Guinea-Bissau, who appeared in the competition for the first time in 2017, picked up their first point in Group F as both sides remained in contention for a place in the last 16.
Holders Cameroon top the section on four points, with Benin and four-time champions Ghana level on two.
Benin's Stephane Sessegnon returned to the line-up after suspension but was unable to inspire his team to victory.
Former Sunderland and West Brom midfielder Sessegnon was joined by Huddersfield forward Steve Mounie, who had the team's best chances, drawing a sharp save from Jonas Mendes and then heading over unmarked from a Sessegnon free-kick.
