Who's going to Tunisia?

Sunday's matches offered no conclusive results, but left several teams one point away from Tunisia.

Algeria and Nigeria joined already-through Senegal, hosts Tunisia and holders Cameroon after games played earlier in the weekend.

Kenya looked like they would have the best chance of booking their tickets in advance, but must wait after losing for the first time in qualifying to Togo.

The Harambe Stars now need to beat Cape Verde in their last match to be sure.

Ghana will go to Tunisia if they can secure a draw against Rwanda in two weeks after a 1-1 result against Uganda.

The Black Stars fought back with only six minutes to go against the Cranes - the equaliser knocked Uganda out.

But Rwanda being at home gives them a great chance.

Benin are the other minnows within a win of a trip to North Africa.

They are just one point behind Zambia after beating Tanzania - if they beat the Chipolopolo in Cotonou they will be through.

Meanwhile South Africa moved to within one point of qualifying after a 2-1 home win over Ivory Coast in Polokwane in Group 11. A draw against whipping boys Burundi will see the Bafana Bafana through - and eliminate Ivory Coast.

Ethiopia set up a potentially thrilling finish to Group Two with their 2-0 win over Niger in Addis Ababa on Sunday.

They now share the lead with Guinea, both countries on nine points, and play away in Conakry in the last qualifier on 6 July.

But Guinea, who have a better goal difference, will just need to draw that home game to qualify for the final tournament for the first time in 10 years.

Zimbabwe held Mali to a goalless draw in Group Six to also set up a dramatic finish, with both sides level on 10 points.

The draw has given Zimbabwe, also seeking a first-ever Nations Cup finals appearance, a slight advantage for the final round of matches in a fortnight as they host Eritrea while Mali must travel to the Seychelles.

DR Congo, who have been to the last six Nations Cup finals, maintained a two point lead in Group 9 with a 2-1 home win over Libya in Kinshasa on Sunday.

A point against Botswana should see them through - unless Swaziland beat Libya by five goals or more.

Group-by-group analysis of the 2004 African Nations Cup qualification matches at the weekend and the permutations for the final round of qualifiers from July 4-6:

> Group One: Nigeria have qualified with Angola and Malawi eliminated after the 2-2 draw with Angola in Benin City on Saturday.

Group Two: Guinea, who beat Liberia 2-1 away on Saturday, need just a draw to qualify from their last match at home to Ethiopia, who will go through if they win. Guinea have not qualified for the last 10 years while Ethiopia, who were African champions in 1962, last played in the finals 22 years ago.

Ethiopia's 2-0 win ended Niger's hopes and Liberia are also out of the running.

Group Three: A 1-0 away win over Tanzania on Sunday leaves Benin needing a win to qualify for their first finals. They play group leaders Zambia in Cotonou on July 6. A draw would secure Zambia's qualification but they are in a tight spot after failing to beat Sudan in Saturday's match in Lusaka.

Group Four: Burkina Faso took over the leadership of the group with a 3-0 thrashing of Congo, who they now lead by two points. The Burkinabe will make sure of qualification if they beat the Central African Republic in Bangui on July 6. If they fail to do so, Congo can still snatch top place with a home win over Mozambique, although they would need an avalanche of goals.

Group Five: Kenya, who lost their unbeaten record in Togo on Sunday, will still qualify if they beat the Cape Verde Islands in Nairobi on July 5. A draw would allow Togo, one point behind, to snatch top spot if they can overcome Mauritania away from home. The Cape Verde Islands will complete a fairytale story and grab top spot only if they beat Kenya and Togo fail to win in Mauritania, who have yet to score a goal in the group matches.

Group Six: Mali and Zimbabwe still share top place after their goalless draw in Bamako on Sunday night with Mali having a the slight edge on goal difference. Zimbabwe have the advantage in the final round of qualifiers because they have a home game against Eritrea while Mali must travel to the Seychelles, who are notoriously hard to beat at home. Both Mali and Zimbabwe will be looking for big wins as there is also a place in the final for the best runner-up.

Group Seven: Morocco, who have yet to concede a goal, beat Gabon 2-0 on Friday and now need a draw in Equatorial Guinea in a fortnight to qualify. Should they lose, Sierra Leone can still win the group but only if they win heavily away in Gabon in their last match. Sierra Leone, who beat Equatorial Guinea 2-0 in Freetown on Sunday, have a good chance to qualify as the best runner-up depending on victory in Libreville and a slip-up by either Mali or Zimbabwe in Group six.

Group Eight: Senegal qualified on June 14 with a 3-0 home win over Lesotho.

Group Nine: Victory for the Democratic Republic of Congo in the top-of-the-table clash with Libya in Kinshasa on Sunday leaves them two points clear at the top. The Simbas will win the group with victory away at Botswana on July 5. But a draw or defeat would open the door for Swaziland. Defeat would even allow Libya, who play Swaziland in Tripoli, a chance.

Group 10: Egypt thumped Madagascar 6-0 in Port Said on Friday leaving the Malagasy needing to beat Mauritius by 17 goals in the final group game in Antananarivo on July 5.

Group 11: South Africa's dramatic 2-1 home win over the Ivory Coast on Sunday leaves them needing just a point to qualify. They can achieve that away in Burundi on July 6 but the Ivory Coast will qualify if South Africa suffer a shock defeat in Bujumbura.

Group 12: Algeria qualified on Friday with a 1-0 win over Namibia and now plan to send their under-23 side to play their last qualifier in Chad on July 6.

Group 13: Ghana rescued their chances with a late equaliser against Uganda in Kumasi on Sunday to force a 1-1 draw. The four-times African champions will qualify if they win or draw in Rwanda on July 5 but defeat would allow the tiny east African country an historic first-ever Nations Cup finals appearance.
