Morocco and Sudan were confirmed Sunday as the last two qualifiers for next year's African Nations Cup finals as the 16-team field for the tournament in Equatorial Guinea and Gabon was completed. Morocco made sure of top place in Group D with a 3-1 win over Tanzania in Marrakesh while Sudan qualified without kicking a ball. It had been beaten 2-0 at home by Ghana Saturday but had to wait until the completion of Sunday's matches before being confirmed as one of the two best runners-up who qualify along with the 12 group winners. Libya picked up the other runner-up berth on a dramatic Saturday when all but two places were finalized. Morocco took a 21st-minute lead through Arsenal striker Marouane Chamakh before Adel Taarabt, who had been restored to the side after walking out on the team in mid-year, and Mbark Boussoufa scored in the second half to take the north Africans to 11 points. It finished three points ahead of 2010 World Cup finalists Algeria and the Central African Republic. Algeria beat the Central African Republic 2-0 in Algiers with first-half goals from Hassan Yebda and Foued Kadir but is among several heavyweights who miss out on next year's finals. Yaya Toure's stoppage-time goal gave the Ivorians a modest 2-1 win over Burundi in Abidjan Sunday to ensure six wins out of six in their group. The Ivorians had already made sure of their qualification berth by the halfway mark of the campaign. The list of 2012 Nations Cup qualifiers are Angola, Botswana, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Mali, Morocco, Libya, Niger, Senegal, Sudan, Tunisia and Zambia.
