The home stage of the World Cup qualifiers in the European House came to an end tonight (Tuesday) with only the playoff games left, and in Africa things are also heating up, with the winners of the playoff stage being determined to be the third and decisive. In the third stage, the teams will meet for a knockout and will have to win a total of two games in order to qualify for the World Cup, when out of ten teams, only five will find themselves in Qatar.
Algeria, which is considered one of the strongest teams on the continent was in real danger of relegation, but was lucky after surviving 2: 2 against Burkina Faso thanks to goals from Riyad Mahraz and Sufian Pagoli and finished in first place at home. Nigeria also advanced to the third qualifying round after a 1-1 draw with Cape Verde. Tunisia also went up after 1: 3 over Zambia.
The most disappointing team in the qualifiers is without a doubt Ivory Coast, who lost 1-0 to Cameroon and will not be in the World Cup for the second time in a row. Other teams that qualified are Egypt (defeated Gabon 1: 3 in the protocol game), Morocco (defeated Guinea 0: 3 in the protocol game), Mali, Ghana (whose victory game against South Africa is still being examined due to errors of judgment), Senegal and Congo.
