Algeria and Ghana completed the five African qualifiers for next year’s World Cup, joining Nigeria, Cameroon and Ivory Coast, who all qualified at the weekend.
This quintet is identical to Africa’s ambassadors at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. Algeria did just enough to book their ticket to their fourth World Cup by beating Burkina Faso 1-0 to go through on the away goals’ rule after the first game ended 3-2 in favour of the west Africans.
Ghana lost 1-2 in Cairo against Egypt but had already done enough in last month’s first leg in Kumasi, routing Egypt 6-1 to breathe a new sense of life.
