The latest round of 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™ qualifying on the mother continent began on Friday night. Malawi moved to joint-top of Group 12 with a 3-0 win over hosts Djibouti and Libya followed suit with a 1-0 win over Ghana to establish themselves at the top of Group Five.
Malawi opened up Friday's trio of games with an impressive 3-0 win over hosts Djibouti at the Gouled Stadium in Djibouti City. Goals from Chiukepo Msowoya, Moses Chavula and Nyondo saw the Flames roar into a three-way draw at the top of qualifying Group 12 with Egypt and DR Congo. The other two section toppers will meet Sunday in Kinshasa.
Djibouti have no points from their five games so far and are out of the running for a spot in either the 2010 CAF African Cup of Nations or the FIFA World Cup finals in South Africa after conceding 26 goals and scoring only two.
The Group Five contest between Ghana and Libya in Tripoli ended in a 1-0 win for the home side thanks to goal six minutes from time from Ahmed Osman. The result sees the Libyans move top of the section with 12 points from five matches, three better than the defeated Black Stars. Gabon are in third with six points, but are expected to make headway on Sunday when they take on pointless basement dwellers Lesotho.
