Mohamed Salah scored twice as Egypt beat Malawi 5-0, and Nigeria beat Tanzania 3-1 in Uyo, in 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. Tolu Arokodare came off the bench at half-time to score twice as Nigeria beat co-hosts Tanzania, lifting their hopes of reaching the 2027 Afcon. Alhassan Yusuf put Nigeria ahead early and Alphonce Msanga equalised before half-time, before Arokodare restored the lead in the 52nd minute and struck again eight minutes later. Tanzania have already qualified, but Nigeria, who lost 3-0 in Guinea-Bissau in September, are chasing the single qualifying place in Group L and sit one point behind leaders Guinea-Bissau. Egypt beat Malawi in Ali Maher's first match in charge, after Hossam Hassan left the job earlier this month. Nasser Maher, Omar Marmoush and Mohamed Hany put Egypt 3-0 up at half-time, and captain Salah headed in a cross and later scored a penalty. The win leaves Egypt three points clear of Angola in Group B.
