CAF World Cup Qualifying Review: Teenager Miya inspires Uganda as Zambia ease through and Morocco hang on

Teenage striker Farouk Miya netted a brace as Uganda brushed aside Togo 3-0 to progress from round two of CAF World Cup qualifying.

The 17-year-old helped himself to a quickfire double as half-time approached after Geoffrey Massa set the hosts on their way to a 4-0 aggregate triumph in the fourth minute.

Morocco's progress was nowhere near as serene as Badou Ezzaki's team went down 1-0 to Equatorial Guinea, but held on to a 2-1 aggregate advantage to reach the group stage.

Yannick Bolasie's penalty looked to have handed Congo DR victory after an own goal from home forward Dieumerci Mbokani cancelled out Jordan Nkololo's 17th-minute opener.

Idrissa Sylla and Naby Keita scored in either half as Guinea completed a 3-0 aggregate win at home to Namibia – the match at Stade Mohamed V ending 2-0 to the hosts.
