African champions Egypt won their second World Cup qualifier inside six days with a comfortable 4-0 away win over Djibouti in their African zone Group 12 match on Friday.
Striker Amr Zaki opened the scoring five minutes before half-time in a match played in searing heat and Egypt doubled their lead soon after the break through midfielder Hosni Abd Rabou.
Egypt extended their lead with two more goals in the next minutes, first from captain Ahmed Hassan and then Ahmed Eid Abdelmalek.
Egypt came from behind to beat the Democratic Republic of Congo 2-1 in Cairo last Sunday to make a winning start to their bid to qualify for the World Cup finals for the first time since 1990.
Djibouti, who lost 8-1 to Malawi last Saturday, have now conceded 12 goals in their two games.
