Tunisia sealed a late 1-0 win over Equatorial Guinea as qualifying for the 2026 Fifa World Cup resumed across Africa.
Africa has a guaranteed nine qualifiers for the 2026 finals in Canada, Mexico and the United States, with all group winners booking a spot at the tournament. It was left to Ben Romdhane to convert the penalty in the 82nd minute and continue a perfect start for the North Africans. Namibia, who were denied what looked like a clear-cut penalty when Deon Hotto was brought down by Sebastian Teclar, almost netted a winner late on as Liberia defender Sampson Dweh headed against his own bar and Erastus Kulula then had an effort tipped over on the follow-up.
Meanwhile, former Premier League regular Curtis Davies scored his first international goal as Sierra Leone beat Djibouti 2-1 to secure their first win of Group A.It took just 12 minutes for the centre-back to give the Leone Stars an early lead in a 'home' match played in Morocco.
