Zimbabwe 1-1 Kenya

Zimbabwe qualified for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations with a match to spare in Group J after a 1-1 draw against Kenya at Orlando Stadium.

Tawanda Maswanhise broke the deadlock for Zimbabwe just after the half-hour mark and Jonah Ayunga equalised for Kenya early in the second stanza.

The Warriors sit second in the group, four points clear of third-placed The Harambee Stars, with only one round of matches remaining.

Anogla 1-1 Ghana

Ghana are officially out of the running to qualify after drawing 1-1 with Angola on Friday night.

The Black Stars, who needed a win, opened the scoring on 18 minutes through Jordan Ayew's strike.

However, the Angolans pulled themselves level in the 64th minute via the boot of Zine.
