After Guinea and Burkina Faso, Wednesday evening, other selections have just validated their tickets for the final phase of the next Africa Cup of Nations Cameroon 2022. These are Egypt, Gabon, Ghana, Equatorial Guinea, the neophytes Comoros and Gambia. On the other hand, the Leopards of the Democratic Republic of Congo are eliminated at the end of this 5th and penultimate day.
Pierre Emerick Aubameyang and his Gabonese teammates are back in the top flight of African football after their victory over their Democratic Republic of Congo counterparts (3-0) on Thursday in Franceville. The three goals of the Panthers were scored respectively by Aaron Boupendza (1-0, 44′), Denis Bouanga (2-0, 72′) and Pierre Emerick Aubameyang (86′). With this success, we can say that the French coach Patrice Neveu has completed his mission, allowing Gabon to return to the CAN after four years of absence.
Like Gambia, Comoros will play for the first time in their history, the final phase of the African Cup of Nations. This is a great achievement for this country of 850,000 inhabitants, which has only been a member of FIFA since 2005. In front of the 1,000 people allowed to attend the match, the Coelacanths had to settle for a draw (0-0) against the already eliminated Hawks of Togo. But it was enough for the Comoros to secure their ticket.
This Friday other matches are scheduled, including Burundi / Central African Republic, Mauritania / Morocco, Cape Verde / Cameroon, and Eswatini / Guinea-Bissau, Congo / Senegal and Niger / Ivory Coast. It should be recalled that 13 countries are already qualified for the next CAN. They are Cameroon (host country), Mali, Senegal, Tunisia, Algeria, Guinea, Burkina Faso, Egypt, Gabon, Comoros, Gambia, Ghana and Equatorial Guinea.
