Some of the matches scheduled for today and valid for the fifth day of qualifying for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations ended a little while ago. Botswana’s disappointing draw against Mauritania opened the proceedings which still leaves the question of passing to the next round of the Zebras in the last match against Egypt. Everything was easy for South Africa: 2-0 away to Uganda with the pass already in hand.
This time for Guinea Bissau, who had to settle for a 1-1 draw with bottom team Eswatini: 90 minutes on the bench for former Udinese player Beto. Egypt, orphaned by Mohamed Salah – who asked and obtained not to play – were stopped by Cape Verde with Mendes’ penalty in the second half. Mali’s blow to Mozambique, overtaken in the standings with 11 points and still with one match to play, while Guinea Bissau is three points away from second place. Sensational thud for the Ivory Coast of Ndicka (Roma), who fell narrowly at the hands of Zambia: entire match for the former Torino Singo, not even Kamara (Udinese) takes over. Zemura’s Zimbabwe closes, keeping Kenya at a distance of 4 with a draw and a draw.
