It;s worth remembering that Senegal won 4-2 on penalties to clinch their first-ever Nations Cup title.

Sadio Mane netted the winning kick for the Teranga Lions, with Mohamed Salah not even getting the chance to take a penalty for Egypt.

Will one of the Liverpool forwards have the say this time around?

The lights are flashing on and off in the Abdoulaye Wade Stadium to ramp up the atmosphere as the teams get into huddles.

The final whistle goes in West Africa.

We needed penalties to settle the Africa Cup of Nations final between these two sides in Cameroon last month.

And now spot-kicks will decide who goes to the World Cup in Qatar.

Boulaye Dia's fourth-minute goal feels a long, long time ago.

Moussa Djenepo breaks the deadlock with a beautiful header but referee Maguette Ndaye rules it offside.

The Mali players are furious - but the game goes on.

Tunisian fans are living up to their reputation. Continuous chants all throughout

Game underway after both national anthems were played to the full house at the Stade Mustapha Tchaker stadium.

One flare was lit after the Algerian anthem despite the Algerian police sending out a statement to not bring pyrotechnic devices to the stadium in Blida.

Two minutes added at the end of extra-time.

It looks like it'll be penalties...

Under way in Tunis too.

Can Mali mount a comeback and qualify for the World Cup for the first time?

Or will Tunisia hang on to their first-leg lead?

The game gets going in Casablanca.

Less than five minutes to go until the 120 minutes is up in Senegal.

There's a lengthy stoppage in play as an Egypt player is down and needing treatment for an injury.

It gives both sides a chance to pause and regroup. But penalties look inevitable.

Morocco XI: Bounou, Hakimi, Masina, Aguerd, Saiss, El Yamiq, Amrabat, Ounahi, Amallah, Tissoudali, Kaabi

DR Congo XI: Kiassumbua, Mbemba, Tisserand, Luyindama, Mukoko, Bastien, Kayember, Mausaku, Meshack, Bakambu, Wissa.

Around 150 Mali fans are present here in Rades. As they start to chant, the Tunisians quickly fire back with louder chants.

Both teams are on the pitch. Tunisian fans boo the Malian national anthem.

It's almost time for kick-off!

Less than 10 minutes left in West Africa.

Less action since the restart in extra-time.

This one looks set to be decided on penalties,

Algeria make one change as OGC Nice fullback Youcef Atal replaces his former clubmate Ramy Bensebaïni, who is suspended.

Coach Djamel Belmadi sticks with five defenders after using the formation for the very first time at Japoma Stadium on Friday and coming away with a 1-0 victory. It is very windy and dark in Blida as the entire province is dealing with the sandstorm; winds are expected to subside closer to kick-off, however.

Algeria XI: M’Bolhi, Benayada, Bedrane, Mandi, Benlamri, Atal, Bennacer, Zerrouki, Mahrez (capt), Slimani, Belaili

Rigobert Song himself has made two changes to the side that lost in the first leg. Cameroon switch out left-back Nouhou Tolo for Ambroise Oyongo - like for like, but Oyongo is a more attacking option.

Captain Vincent Aboubakar will also start this match on the bench after picking up a heel injury. Aboubakar is replaced by Leandré Tawamba, a 32 year-old striker plying his trade in Saudi Arabia and who impressed in the first leg back in Douala.

Cameroon XI: A Onana, Fai, Castelletto, Ngadeu, Oyongo, Hongla, Gouet, J Onana, Choupo-Moting, Tawamba, Toko-Ekambi.

Jalel Kadri goes by the saying "never change a winning team" and keeps the same squad as the first leg.

Tunisia XI: Ben Said, Maaloul, Talbi, Ghandri, Drager, Chaalali, Ben Romdhane, Laidouni, Msakni (capt), Jaziri, Sliti.

Mali XI: Mounkoro, Kouyate, Fofana, H Traore, M Haidara, Samassekou, A Haidara, Bissouma, A Traore, Djenepo, Diaby.

Morocco are looking to reach back-to-back World Cup finals and take an away goal into their home leg in Casablanca.

DR Congo took the lead in Friday's first leg through Yoane Wissa, but Tarik Tissoudali equalised for the north Africans in the second half after Ryan Mmaee had missed a penalty.

Moroccan fans were only recently allowed back into stadia after coronavirus rules were relaxed, and Atlas Lions fans will relish watching their side at the Stade Mohammed V.

DR Congo are looking to qualify for the World Cup for just the second time, with their sole appearance coming as Zaire in 1974.

Under way again in Senegal again...

It's been the Mohamed El Shenawy show in the first period of extra time.

The Egypt goalkeeper made a string of saves, notably keeping out Ismaila Sarr's side-footed effort when the Senegal forward looked certain to score.

El Shenawy missed out the closing stages of the Nations Cup through injury, with sub keeper Gabaski stealing the headlines, but he's keeping his side in the game here.

Algeria endured a torrid defence of their Nations Cup title but took just 40 minutes to equal their Afcon goal tally against Cameroon on Friday with Islam Slimani scoring the only goal of the game.

A debut defeat was not what new Indomitable Lions Rigobert Song had in mind. Cameroon travel to Algeria having to win the game.

Cameroon are bidding history in becoming the first African nation to qualify for eight World Cups, as well as being the first to win in Blida since Algeria moved there in 2004 - a run that spans over 40 matches.

Both nations missed out in Russia 2018, so this game is massive for both sides, who will be aiming to be in Friday's World Cup draw in Doha.

Tunisia have a narrow lead from Friday's first leg. with Moussa Sissako's own goal giving the north Africans the win in Bamako.

There's an incredible atmosphere in Rades Stadium in Tunis.

The Tunisians are still flocking to the venue. A very festive atmosphere, music blasting, flags waiving, and fans chanting for the Carthage Eagles as they entered the pitch for the warm-ups.

Can Mali overturn the first leg deficit to reach a first ever World Cup? Or will Tunisia make it back-to-back appearances?

In the pre-match press conference, Mali boss Mohamed Magassouba seemed confident in his team's chances. Mali are in for a tough task. They need two goals and the Tunisians have a full house behind them.

Meanwhile there are three more African World Cup qualifiers to come, which all kick off in 20 minutes.

Previews and team-news is on the way shortly...

Then comes an INCREDIBLE save by El Shenawy.

Sadio Mane sends in a brilliant low ball across goal from the left.

Ismaila Sarr gets onto it and the goal is gaping for the Watford forward... but he sends his effort straight back across goal and El Shenawy bats it away.

Senegal won't get many chances better than that!
