With the Ghanaians having just two points in third place in that group, after the third and final round, it is certain that Angola, Morocco, Burkina Faso, Guinea and Mali, all with four points in their respective groups, are at least guaranteed passage as one of the best four third-placed teams.
Even if they lose this Tuesday to Burkina Faso and Algeria beat Mauritania, Angola, coached by Portuguese Pedro Gonçalves, knows that third place in Group D guarantees the 'eighth'.
At issue is Reinildo's goal, in the 90+3 minute, which gave Mozambique a draw, who were still eliminated against Ghana, in a match in which the Ghanaians wasted a two-goal lead.
On the pitch, Rui Vitória's Egypt and José Peseiro's Nigeria also guaranteed their presence in the knockout stage, as did Equatorial Guinea.
Cape Verde and Senegal, current champion, complete the group of 10 teams already qualified.
