The 6th and final day of the CAN 2025 qualifiers was on the program this Monday evening in groups A and B of the qualifiers.
Although the 4 qualifiers were already known In these two pools, this final trick was not without interest. These are not the Comoros who will say the opposite! 1-0 winners from Madagascar in the Indian Ocean derby relocated to El Hoceima in Morocco, the Colecanthes, already qualified, took the opportunity to grill Tunisia to the wire and symbolically finish at the top of group A!
Comoros win the derby
After a ball that was lying around in the area after a bar from a corner, Yacine Bourhane scored the only goal of the game in the 47th minute and frustrated the Malagasyalready eliminated, who obtained the best opportunities for the first of coach Gilles Hugon, who replaced “Roro”. The Barea notably found the bar before the hour mark on a dry strike from Ponti, while Ben Boina then made a decisive save to block Tsiry’s shot.
Tunisia still trapped
At the same time, the Tunisiaalso already qualified, was disillusioned by being surprised by the Gambia in Radès (0-1). From the 20th second, Dahmen had to work in a face-to-face against Ceesay. The Carthage Eagles responded with a personal exploit from Ltaief, who sent his shot onto the post. A few minutes later, Ceesay took advantage of a superb cross from Musa Barrow to open the scoring in the heart of the area (17th).
Despite this goal, Kais Yaakoubi’s men were unable to react, contented themselves with accumulating uncut crosses and corners without really causing any danger except for a too soft header from Mastouri returning from the locker room and two opportunities not converted by Makni in the final minutes. This second defeat in this campaign costs first place to the Tunisians who ultimately finish with only two points ahead of their tormentor of the day, 3rd.
Gabon gets back in the saddle in Johannesburg
In group B, while the Morocco managed a 6 out of 6 by atomizing Lesotho 7-0 including a hat-trick from Brahim Diaz, the Gabon managed to raise his head. After the scathing 5-1 conceded Friday against the Atlas Lions, the Panthers, already qualified, won 1-0 against the Central African Republicin Johannesburg, South Africa. Guélor Kanga scored on a penalty following a nasty tackle by Ato-Zandanga on Ekomié (74th). The Panthers thus end their campaign with 10 points on the clock, 8 less than Morocco but 6 more than Lesotho and 7 more than Central Africa.
