Elsewhere, Tunisia held on for a 0-0 draw against Mali to see them prevail 1-0 on aggregate, while Morocco were the only big winners on Tuesday as they thrashed DR Congo 4-1 (5-2 on aggregate).

Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey scored the crucial away goal which saw Ghana claim a 1-1 draw in Nigeria on Tuesday.

There was more drama in Algeria where Ahmed Touba scored in the 118th minute to leave Cameroon on the verge of elimination, only for Cameroon to hit back in the fourth minute of added time in extra time as Karl Toko Ekambi snatched victory from the jaws of defeat.

Penalties were needed to separate Egypt and Senegal after three and a half hours.

Egypt had won the first leg 1-0 but lost the second by the same score after extra time.

That sent the contest to spot-kicks where Mo Salah missed and Sadio Mane scored as Senegal prevailed 3-1.

Egypt's players were handicapped by home fans shining lasers in their eyes.

Achraf Hakimi was among the scorers for Morocco.

Cameroon scored deep in stoppage time of extra time to break Algerian hearts and complete the line-up of Africa’s representatives for the World Cup in November.

Karl Toko Ekambi scored in the 124th minute after Algerians were already celebrating their qualification to beat the Desert Foxes 1-2 on the night and send his side to Qatar with the away goal advantage. Algeria had won 1-0 in the first leg.

The draw for the World Cup group stages will hold this Friday.
