Senegal maintained their unbeaten run in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Mauritania, courtesy of a goal from Habib Diallo in the 27th minute. Despite missing key players like Sadio Mané and Nicolas Jackson due to injury, Senegal climbed to the top of Group B with the win, facing disruptions as frustrated home fans caused a delay in the match.
Meanwhile, Tunisia, another World Cup regular, settled for a goalless draw against Namibia, keeping them at the summit of Group H. The match, played in Soweto, South Africa, witnessed controversy as Namibia had a goal disallowed due to a disputed foul on the Tunisian goalkeeper, although replays showed minimal contact.
In other matches, Congo secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Togo, while Liberia grabbed a last-minute winner to defeat Sao Tome e Principe 1-0. Djibouti earned their first point in Group A with a 1-1 draw against Ethiopia.
