Senegal and Morocco, have become the first two countries to qualify for the second stage of the African World Cup qualifier.
Senegal achieved this feat after winning four straight games and defeating Namibia 3-1 at home. It leads the group with 12points, meaning the team in second place, Togo, who is on 4 points can no longer catch up with the Lions of Teranga.
It Is the same story for Morocco, which qualified after gaining 12 points from 4 games, it leads Guinea Bissau, who is second in the group with 8 points, and with 6 points to play for, it has qualified for the next round.
These are the two teams that have qualified with two games to spare, other African countries including Nigeria will have to wait till the next round or the final game to know their fate.
However, unlike Germany, who became the first team to qualify for the World cup on Monday, these two African giants will have to play another round of qualifiers before earning a ticket to Qatar 2022 World Cup.
