Mohamed Salah scored a last-minute winner as Egypt came from behind to end Tunisia’s 100% record in African Nations Cup qualifying with a 3-2 win in Alexandria on Friday.
Morocco beat Cameroon 2-0 in Casablanca and are now one point from a place in next year’s finals while tiny Burundi moved a step closer to qualification for the first time with a 5-2 away win over South Sudan.
Egypt and Tunisia had already secured their places at the finals by making sure of the top two spots in Group J but their clash was still bristling with tension after last week’s victory for Tunisian club Esperance over Cairo’s Al Ahly in the African Champions League final.
