International: Monday's CAF Qualifiers

Burkina Faso 2-1 Guinea-Bissau

RC Lens' Hervé Koffi started between the pipes for Burkina Faso to secure a 2-1 win. After the two sides went into halftime leveled one-all, Burkina Faso found the back of the net in the second half to take the victory. The result for Burkina Faso proves ideal as they now trail first-place Egypt by two points for the automatic qualifying spot to the World Cup next year.

Côte d'Ivoire 1-0 Gambia

Angers' Yahia Fofana and AS Monaco's Wilfried Singo were in the starting 11 for Côte d'Ivoire. Off the bench, the Elephants counted on several players from France's top flight.

In the second half, OGC Nice's Evann Guessand, AJ Auxerre's Clément Akpa, and Stade de Reims' Oumar Diakité saw action as substitutes. The lone goal of the contest came from former AJA youth product Sébastien Haller, who scored in the 15th minute.

The win allows Côte d'Ivoire (16 points) to move into the automatic qualifying spot ahead of Gabon (15 points).

Tunisia 2-0 Malawi

Nice's Ali Abdi was the lone Ligue 1 McDonald's player who featured in this contest. The 31-year-old played all 90 minutes with Tunisia scoring two late goals in the second half to secure all three points. After the victory, Tunisia created a four-point gap between themselves and second-place Nambia.

Central African Republic 0-0 Mali

Stade Brestois' Kamory Doumbia featured in this scoreless contest, playing all 90 minutes. Both sides leave with one point, which isn't ideal for Mali (nine points) as they trail Madagascar (10 Points) by one point for second place, which is the playoff qualifying spot.

Ghana 3-0 Madagascar

Speaking of Madagascar, they fell 3-0 to Ghana, which featured Monaco's Mohammed Salisu and AJA's Gideon Mensah in the starting 11. Olympique Lyonnais' Ernest Nuamah came off the bench in the 80th minute. Still, it was former Olympique de Marseille standout Jordan Ayew who had an amazing night as the 33-year-old recorded three assists.
