World Cup qualifying round-up

Cameroon must wait to see if their second-placed spot in Group D in the African section is definitely enough to clinch a play-off place. Cape Verde have reached their first-ever finals after a nerveless 3-0 victory over Eswatini booked their ticket to next summer’s tournament.

Bryan Mbeumo and Andre Onana’s nation remain next in the standings but a 0-0 draw at home to Angola means they are relying on results elsewhere to seal their fate. Angola twice hit the woodwork at the Ahmadou Ahidjo Stadium, with both Reds starting, although Onana is currently on loan at Tranzonspor.
