Tunisia are on track for a third straight World Cup appearance with 1-0 win over Equatorial Guinea.
JOHANNESBURG – Mohamed Ali Ben Romdhane converted an 82nd-minute penalty to keep Tunisia on track for a third straight World Cup appearance with a 1-0 win over Equatorial Guinea in Rades on Wednesday.
The nine African group winners qualify for the 2026 finals in Canada, Mexico and the USA and the four highest-ranked runners-up compete for one place in inter-continental play-offs. Nsue ignored the ban, was capped 43 times by Equatorial Guinea, and scored the goals that won 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Namibia and Liberia last November.
But persistent second-half pressure from the Liberians paid off on 65 minutes when Terry Sackor pushed the ball into the net at the far post after the Namibians failed to clear a long throw.Namibia coach Collin Benjamin blamed inexperience for the failure to win, adding that "we struggled in the air against long throws".
The lack of an international-standard stadium in the Namibian capital, Windhoek, has forced the national team to play home matches in neighbouring South Africa since 2021. Elsewhere, Sierra Leone and the Central African Republic recorded their first wins while Togo drew for the third time.
