Guinea needed just a point from the teams' final game in Group H, but Msuva's goal lifted Tanzania into second place — one point ahead of Guinea — to qualify as runner-up behind group winner Congo.

Two more spots were to be decided later Tuesday with Mauritania hosting Cape Verde in Group C, hoping for a favor from group winner Egypt against Botswana. Botswana would qualify as runner-up if it avoids defeat against the Pharaohs.
