World Cup qualifying:Emad Meteab scored a dramatic last-minute goal to hand Egypt a 2-0 win over World Cup qualifying rivals Algeria and force a play-off between the sides next week.
Algeria went into the match three points clear of their Group C rivals in the knowledge that they could lose by a single goal in Cairo and still seal their place in South Africa next summer.
The hosts got the dream start when Amr Zaki netted just two minutes into the game but the Algerians, hopeful of securing only a third finals appearance and a first since 1986, appeared to have done enough to close out the required result.
That was until substitute Meteab struck with 90 minutes gone to send the home fans wild and tee up a decisive clash in Sudan on November 18.
Rwanda and Zambia drew 0-0 in the group's other match.
Cameroon had earlier sealed an African record sixth appearance in the finals, while Nigeria also progressed.
Nigeria claimed a 3-2 away win over Kenya as Tunisia, the previous leaders of Group B, suffered a shock defeat in Mozambique.
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.
Martins scored in the 83rd minute, the same time as Dario got Mozambique's winner.
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.
Cameroon secured their passage to the finals by seeing off Morocco 2-0 in Fes.
Goals in either half, from Achille Webo and Inter Milan striker Samuel Eto'o, rubber-stamped their place in South Africa, while their Group A rivals Gabon slipped to defeat in Togo.
The Gabonese had gone into the game one point behind Cameroon but fluffed their lines as Floyd Ayite scored the game's only goal for the hosts.
In Group E the Ivory Coast, who had already qualified, beat Guinea 3-0 and Burkina Faso defeated Malawi 1-0.
Benin defeated Sudan 2-1 in Group D.
