    Algeria are creating occasions every few minutes.

  3. Algeria 0-1 Cameroon (1-1 agg)

    A huge double chance for Algeria! Riyad Mahrez finds some space and treats Collins Fai to a lovely trademark drag-stepever, his shot is palmed over the bar by Cameroon keeper Andre Onana.

    The Manchester City man takes the ensuing corner and places it on Abdelkader Bedrane's head, but he inexplicably heads over despite being unmarked.

    Football journalist

    Islam Slimani scores for Algeria... but it is ruled offside.

    Riyad Mahrez drifts behind the Cameroonian defence and his cross is deflected to Houcine Benayada who shoots at Andre Onana.

    The rebound falls to Slimani who scores, but the Sporting Lisbon man was a foot offside. Correct decision.

  7. KICK-OFF

    Morocco 2-0 DR Congo (3-1 agg)

    A delayed start to the second half in Casablanca after all that stoppage time in the first half.

    The hosts are firmly in charge of this play-off. Gael Kakuta has come on for DR Congo, and the visitors have to go for the jugular.

    Can Mali grab a goal and keep their hopes of reaching Qatar alive?

  12. Crowd disturbances mar Ghana's progress

    FT: Nigeria 1-1 Ghana (1-1 agg - Ghana win on away goals)

    Piers Edwards
    BBC Africa Sport at MKO National Stadium, Abuja

    Nigerian fans acted with anger and unrestrained frustration as violence overshadowed the Super Eagles’ World Cup exit.

    Local spectators peppered both the Ghana fans, some 100 or so, and the Black Stars players with water bottles – forcing the latter to cower and cover their heads as they battled their way down the tunnel following a mass pitch invasion.

    The ugly scenes – with police hitting out at fans with batons – were allowed to continue by local security for around five minutes or so, and were only briefly interrupted when tear gas was thrown onto the pitch.

    By that stage, a dug out had been overturned and smashed up as the unwanted-but-familiar side of football reared its ugly head.

    Ghanaian supporters making their way from the stadium expressed their disbelief and dismay at their treatment, while football’s world governing body Fifa will take a dim view of scenes which require considerable explaining from both Nigerian security and football officials.

  13. HALF-TIME

    Morocco 2-0 DR Congo (3-1 agg)

    After 12 minutes of stoppage time, the half-time whistle goes in Casablanca.

    Morocco are firmly on top in this tie.

    The Atlas Lions have one hand on back-to-back World Cup appearances.

  14. HALF-TIME

    Algeria 0-1 Cameroon (1-1 agg)

    Maher Mezahi
    Football journalist

    Against all odds, Cameroon have turned this tie around and equalised! Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting's goal is the difference between the two sides.

    The hosts look frustrated, edgy and irritated. The visitors look organised, calm and collected. For now the tie is heading to extra-time, but a goal for either team would dramatically swing the circumstances.

    A decisive 45 minutes await.

  15. Algeria 0-1 Cameroon (1-1 agg)

    Maher Mezahi
    Football journalist

    The 45 minutes are up and the 4th match official indicates for 2 minutes of added time. Algeria are still applying pressure, but are not really troubling the visitors.

  16. goal

    GOAL: Morocco 2-0 DR Congo (3-1 agg)

    Tarik Tissoudali (45+7 mins)

    In first-half stoppage time, Morocco look like they have taken command of this tie...

    Tarik Tissoudali scored the late equaliser for the Atlas Lions on Friday and now has another precious goal for the North Africans.

    He latches on to a mis-timed back-header and gets into the box before tuning a composed finish into the DR Congo net.

    The visitors have a lot to do now to revive their hopes of going to Qatar.

  17. HALF-TIME

    Tunisia 0-0 Mali (1-0 agg)

    A flagged-off Moussa Djenepo goal early in the game was frustrating for Mali.

    Nonetheless, it gave them a boost of moral that would last through the entire first half.

    The trio of Yves Bissouma, Djenepo, and Abdoulaye Diaby were not kind on Tunisia. Aidouni and Ghandri were Tunisia's last line of defence against Mali.

    Youssef Msakni and Souffedine Jaziri get an A for trying, unfortunately for them, to no avail.

    Mali boss Mohamed Magassouba seemed confident but Jalel Kadri will have to rethink his decisions.

  18. Morocco 1-0 DR Congo (2-1 agg)

    There will be 12 minutes added at the end of the first half after those lengthy stoppages following injuries to Bono.

  19. Morocco 1-0 DR Congo (2-1 agg)

    Two minutes to the break and Morocco keeper Bono has to come off.

    The Sevilla man had to rush out of his goal to clear and took another blowto the head.

    Munir Mohamedi comes on in between the sticks for the hosts.

  20. Algeria 0-1 Cameroon (1-1 agg)

    Ten minutes until half time and Algeria seem a little shell-shocked from the Cameroon goal. They have not been able to get back into this game despite a few half-chances.

    The Desert Warriors have twice in quick succession appealed for penalties, both unsuccessfully.
