The Elephants now lead with nine points from four matches, with Zambia second on seven. Sierra Leone has five points with one match left, while Chad is eliminated.
In Group E, Liberia’s 1-0 victory over Togo in Monrovia eliminated both teams from the competition, thus confirming Equatorial Guinea’s qualification for the tournament in Morocco.
Equatorial Guinea, sitting on seven points from four games, cannot be overtaken by Liberia, even if both teams finish with the same points, due to their head-to-head record.
