Also qualifying on Saturday were Nigeria and Morocco while Libya scored eight goals to keep alive hopes of also featuring at the finals which will be held in Cameroon. Nigeria drew 1-1 with South Africa in Soweto, and Morocco went through after rivals Malawi lost 2-1 in the Comoros. Libya triumphed 8-1 in the Seychelles and host South Africa next March needing a win to accompany Nigeria from Group “E”. The Libyans just missed equalling the record away winning margin for a Cup of Nations qualifier held by Ghana, who won 9-1 in Niger 49 years ago. Uganda Cranes, who ended a 38-year Afcon jinx by qualifying for last year’s finals in Gabon, have amassed an unassailable 13 points, eight ahead of second-placed Tanzania, with a game to go.
