• Morocco and Tunisia were already through, so all four African qualifiers so far are North African nations.
• The Somalia home fixture was played in Oran, where Algeria’s victory moved them to an unassailable 22 points with one match left.
• Egypt sealed Group A the previous day by defeating Djibouti 3-0, as Mohamed Salah struck twice and Ibrahim Adel also scored.
• Ghana need one point against Comoros to qualify and Cape Verde can clinch Group D by beating Eswatini, while the four best runners-up head to November playoffs before potential intercontinental playoffs in March and the December 5 draw.
