Benin win in Tanzania to go top, DR Congo prevails and away win for Cape Verde
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Benin moved top of Group J in the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers after a precious 1-0 win away to Tanzania at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium in Dar es Salaam on Thursday evening.

Steve Mounie scored the lone goal for The Squirrels in the 72nd minute to hand the West Africans maximum points, moving them top with seven points after two wins and a draw in the opening three matches.

The Tanzanians will rue their missed chances, especially one that fell on Saimon Msuva in the first half. The Morocco based striker had a glorious chance in the 22nd minute when off a long ball he looped over the keeper with a cheeky header.

However, he took a weak shot at goal with a sliding Cedric Hountondji scrambling back to block the effort.

After going down, Tanzania gave their all in search of an equalizer. Substitute Abdul Hamisi Suleiman came close twice late on, first his ferocious shot from the edge of the area coming off the bar while his second two minutes later was saved by the keeper.

DR Congo 2-0 Madagascar

At the Stade de Martyrs in Kinshasa, goals from Chadrac Akolo and skipper Dieumerci Mbokani gave the DR Congo a 2-0 victory over Madagascar to move second in the group with five points.

While the Congolese hand themselves some massive hope of qualification, Madagascar sees their hopes now hang on a lose fitting after a third successive loss.

Akolo broke the deadlock in the 35th minute with a well taken low shot into the box. He picked up the ball from a poorly defended corner, played a one-two with Mbokani before shooting into the bottom left .

The Congolese had dominated the game with Mbokani and Cedric Bakambu coming close before the opener.

In the second half, they were even more dominant and should have been two up after 72 minutes but Chancel Mbemba’s low shot in the box came off the upright.

They however got the second in the 79th minute when Mbokani converted a penalty after Edo Kayembe was clipped inside the box.

Liberia 1-2 Cape Verde

In Accra, Ghana, Garry Rodrigues scored a sensational 92nd minute winner as Cape Verde came from a goal down to beat hosts Liberia 2-1. The islanders’ first win of the qualifiers takes them to four points in Group C with four points, two behind leaders Nigeria.

The hosts had gone ahead at the stroke of halftime through Van-Dave Harmon.

However, Cape Verde came off the breather more determined and they levelled just seven minutes after the restart when Jamiro Gregory Monteiro smashed the ball into the roof of the net after a cross from the left was headed down for him.

They kept fighting and eventually grabbed the winner in the 92nd minute when Rodrigues took a shot from outside the area after some patient build up, the keeper stretching all but in vain.
