Ghana, Angola, Tanzania qualify for Africa Cup of Nations finals

NEW DELHI: Ghana, Angola and Tanzania qualified for January’s African Cup of Nations finals when they finished in the top two of their respective groups on Thursday, leaving only six more places to be decided in the next days for the 24-team tournament in the Ivory Coast. Ghana and Angola finished one-two in Group E, while Tanzania forced an unlikely goalless draw away in Algeria to also go through.

The result denied already qualified Algeria the chance of being the only country to complete the qualifying campaign with a 100% record.

Tanzania’s point in Annaba also left neighbours Uganda falling one point short despite beating Niger 2-0 away.

Algeria topped Group F with 16 points from six games, with Tanzania on eight and Uganda on seven. Agencies
