LATEST UPDATE: Tunisia, South Africa, Cameroon qualify
Tunisia, South Africa and Cameroon have secured their places at the 2015 CAF Africa Cup of Nations.
The Carthage Eagles 0-0 draw against Bostwana moved them to 11 points in Group G and ensured them of a top-two finish and qualification for the 17 January-8 February finals in Equatorial Guinea.
South Africa joined the AFCON 2015 train with a 2-1 win over Sudan in Durban.
Saturday’s qualifier took place in the hometown of the late Senzo Meyiwa, the Bafana Bafana goalkeeper who was tragically killed last month, and the victory allowed the Group A leaders to join already-qualified Algeria, Cape Verde and Tunisia.
Equatorial Guinea, named as hosts in place of Morocco on Friday, qualify automatically for the 17 January-8 February event.
Côte d’Ivoire boosted their chances of reaching the biennial African football showcase by thrashing Sierra Leone 5-1 in Group D at Stade Felix Houphouet- Boigny in Abidjan. Former Chelsea striker Salomon Kalou bagged a brace and Liverpool defender Kolo Toure, Max-Alain Gradel and Gervinho also scored for the Elephants.
A mid-first-half Mustapha Bangura goal levelled the score after Toure — older brother of reigning African Footballer of the Year Yaya Toure — struck on seven minutes. The second half was one-way traffic toward the goalmouth of the Leone Stars.
Côte d’Ivoire are second with nine points, one behind Cameroon and three ahead of Congo DR, who play in Yaounde Saturday. There are 12 qualifiers scheduled for Saturday with defending champions Nigeria needing a victory in Congo Brazzaville to have a realistic chance of qualifying. Algeria and Cape Verde Islands booked places at the three-week tournament last month.
Cameroon also made sure of a place in the African Cup finals in Equatorial Guinea with a 1-0 win over Congo. Ghana lost 1-0 in Uganda and Mali fell 2-0 in Malawi to keep them waiting until the final round of qualifying games next week.
