Afcon 2025: Senegal and DR Congo qualify for finals in Morocco
Sadio Mane scored an injury-time winner which secured Senegal’s qualification for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) with two rounds of matches to spare.
The Teranga Lions were heading for a goalless draw away against Malawi before the former Liverpool forward, who now plays for Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia, struck in the 96th minute in Lilongwe.
Senegal move on to 10 points in Group L alongside Burkina Faso and have joined their fellow West Africans in booking a place at the 2025 Nations Cup in Morocco.
The 2021 Afcon winners progressed despite parting company with long-serving coach Aliou Cisse earlier this month.
DR Congo also sealed their spot at the finals on Tuesday as Meschack Elia scored twice late on to give them a 2-0 away win in Tanzania.
The Leopards, who finished fourth at the 2023 finals earlier this year, have won all four games in Group H without conceding.
Uganda moved to the brink of qualifying after a 2-0 win in South Sudan while Angola, Egypt, Ivory Coast, Mali and South Africa could also progress if they win their qualifiers later on Tuesday.
Cameroon and Algeria picked up their tickets for the 24-team tournament in North Africa with victories on Monday.
Boris Enow gave Cameroon a 1-0 win over Kenya in neutral Kampala while an 18th-minute penalty from Remy Bensebaini was enough for Algeria to triumph 1-0 against Togo in Lome.
The final two rounds of qualifiers will be held next month while the 2025 Nations Cup is scheduled to begin on 21 December next year, with the final on 18 January 2026.
