Angola and Ghana both won their second successive World Cup qualifiers, but there were contrasting results on Sunday for two of Africa's other representatives at the Finals in Germany last year. Angola came from a goal down to win 2-1 in Niger while Ghana also won vital away points in a high-tempo 3-2 triumph over Lesotho as the qualifying campaign on the continent completed a second successive weekend of matches. The Ivory Coast was held to a disappointing goalless draw in Madagascar and Togo suffered an embarrassing 2-1 defeat at tiny Swaziland. The lack of attacking prowess for the Ivory Coast was all too evident as they were held to a goalless draw in Antananarivo. Didier Drogba, Salomon Kalou and Aruna Dindane were all absent. Cameroon and the Democratic Republic of Congo won their respective games on Sunday. But 2002 quarterfinalist Senegal was held to a 0-0 draw in the Gambia. Samuel Eto'o was among the scorers as Cameroon breezed past host Mauritius 3-0 in Group One while a twice-taken penalty from Zola Matumona ensured a narrow 1-0 home win for the Congolese over Malawi in Kinshasa. Botswana and Rwanda both won away from home while Razak Omotoyossi scored twice to give Benin the biggest win of the day - a 4-1 home triumph over Uganda.
