Nigeria claimed a place in the World Cup finals after winning 3-2 away to Kenya as Tunisia, the previous leaders of Africa Zone Group B, suffered a shock defeat in Mozambique.
Meanwhile, Cameroon coasted to a 2-0 win in Morocco and clinched a record sixth appearance at the World Cup. Tunisia were well on course to qualify for South Africa with 10 minutes to go in both games but when Obafemi Martins scored his second goal of the game Nigeria went top of the table. Kenya went ahead through Dennis Oleich after 16 minutes and kept Nigeria at bay until just past the hour mark when Martins got his first.
Ayegbeni Yakubu put the visitors ahead three minutes later but Allan Watende levelled the scores with 12 minutes to go and Martins grabbed the winner seven minutes from time.
