Ethiopia beat Mozambique 1-0 in Maputo in Group J of the AFCON 2027 qualifiers, reviving their qualification hopes. Senegal, who beat Sudan 4-1, remain leaders with seven points, three ahead of Mozambique, according to Le Soleil.

Ethiopia earned their first points in the AFCON 2027 qualifiers by beating Mozambique 1-0 in Maputo on Friday, after two defeats in their opening matches, reports Le Soleil.

Mozambique remain on four points, behind Senegal who have seven after their 4-1 win over Sudan on Thursday. Ethiopia now have three points, level with Sudan, according to Le Soleil.

Senegal must travel to Khartoum on Monday to face Sudan. A win would take the Lions to 10 points and put them in a favourable position to secure one of the two qualifying places in Group J, reports Le Soleil.

The Ethiopian victory came after Senegal’s win over Ethiopia on 29 September. It also came after Mozambique’s pre-selection of players to face Ethiopia, announced on 21 October.
