CAPE TOWN, Nov 13 (Reuters) - Tunisia’s ⁠dismal run continued with a 2-0 home defeat by Libya in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier ⁠on Friday, while Mohamed Salah became Egypt’s record scorer in their 5-0 rout of Malawi.

There were key ‌wins for Cape Verde and Nigeria, who had made disappointing starts to the 2027 qualifying campaign, but there were also frustrating home draws for past winners South Africa and Zambia.
