The Indomitable Lions of Cameroon roared to the top of Group J on Friday afternoon after a commanding 4-1 victory over Kenya saw them go two points above Zimbabwe who overcame Namibia on Thursday.
Veteran goal poacher, Vincent Aboubakar opened the floodgates in the 8th minute with a converted penalty before Martin Hongla, Byan Mbeumo as well as Christian Bassogog completed the rout.
The Ugandan Cranes continued in their fine form as they laboured to a 1-0 victory over South Sudan. The result puts them in a good position as they battle for the top spot with South Africa who play host to Congo.
In Cairo, The Pharaohs continued their dominance of Group C when they comfortably cruised past Mauritania by 2-0.
Goals by Trézéguet as well as the ever-green Mohamed Salah ensured the record African champions continued their winning streak.
Meanwhile, The Gambia managed to secure a crucial away point when they shared the spoils after a 1-1 draw with Madagascar.
The result still puts them within a touching distance of run-away Group A leaders, Tunisia who lead the pack with four points ahead of their match against Comoros.
