Thanks to his timely brilliance, Salah and his teammates have officially secured a ticket to the World Cup one match early. Currently, Egypt leads Group A with 23 points, 5 points more than Burkina Faso and cannot be caught up.

Meanwhile, Cameroon also had an important victory over Mauritius to keep their World Cup hopes alive. After a stalemate in the first half, Ngamaleu opened the scoring in the 57th minute before Mbeumo, who plays for Manchester United, sealed the 2-0 result in injury time. Goalkeeper Onana also left his mark with important saves, helping Cameroon keep a clean sheet.

This result brought Cameroon to 18 points, just 2 points behind Cape Verde - the leader of Group D. In the final round, they must beat Angola and wait for Cape Verde to stumble against Eswatini.

If they do not win the top spot, Cameroon will need to maintain their second place in the group with the highest possible score, thereby competing for a play-off spot for the four best second-placed teams in Africa, in order to have a chance to participate in the intercontinental play-off round.
