Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana kept a fourth clean sheet for Cameroon on Wednesday in Africa Cup of Nations qualifying, and Equatorial Guinea and Ivory Coast clinched finals places.
Cameroon, who clinched a place at the 2025 finals in Morocco by defeating Kenya twice last month, have 11 points with a home fixture against Zimbabwe to come on Tuesday. By holding Cameroon, Namibia secured their first point of a disappointing campaign having reached the last 16 at an AFCON for the first time in the Ivory Coast this year.
Zimbabwe play Kenya on Friday and a draw will ensure they finish at least second and accompany Cameroon to the 24-team tournament. A victory for Kenya will take them within one point of Zimbabwe, and keep alive hopes of a first AFCON appearance since 2019. Equatorial Guinea and defending champions Ivory Coast secured places without playing, swelling the list of qualifiers to nine. Morocco are automatic participants as hosts.
Liberia win
Before matchday 5 kicked off on Wednesday, Algeria, Angola, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Egypt and Senegal had booked places. The Equatoguineans were assured of a top-two finish in Group E after rivals Togo lost 1-0 in Liberia, where Mohammed Sangare converted an 83rd-minute penalty for the home side.
