"Senegal cruised to a dominant 4-0 win over Mauritania in Dakar to secure their place at the World Cup. After a controlled opening half, Sadio Mane broke the deadlock just before the interval, firing home from close range after sustained pressure from the hosts. The Al Nassr forward doubled his tally shortly after the restart, converting from the centre of the box to make it 2-0 and give Senegal full command of the contest."
"Ivory Coast followed in Senegal's footsteps to qualify with a comfortable 3-0 win over Kenya in Abidjan. The hosts took control early when Franck Kessie opened the scoring inside eight minutes, finishing calmly from Amad Diallo's assist after a well-worked attacking move. Yan Diomande doubled the lead shortly after the restart, guiding home from close range following good work down the left by Ghislain Konan."
Africa's final round of World Cup qualifying concluded earlier than most because the Africa Cup of Nations is scheduled for early 2026, leaving most final World Cup places decided. South Africa secured qualification earlier by beating Rwanda to top Group C, narrowly ahead of Nigeria. Senegal qualified with a dominant 4-0 victory over Mauritania as Sadio Mane scored twice and Iliman Ndiaye and Habib Diallo also scored. Ivory Coast clinched qualification with a 3-0 win over Kenya, with Franck Kessie, Yan Diomande and Amad Diallo on the scoresheet. Several teams had one final opportunity to clinch berths.
