Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>Ghana and Tunisia both had to settle for draws away from home in qualifying for 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.<\/b><\/p>\n

Tunisia were held goalless in Botswana while Ghana drew 1-1 against Central African Republic, in a match played in Angola due to a lack of suitable stadiums in CAR.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere on Sunday Malawi managed to hold on for a 2-1 win over visiting Ethiopia while Madagascar and Angola ended in a 1-1 stalemate.<\/p>\n

The results mean that Ghana and Angola both have four points in Group E while CAR and Madagascar have a point each, with all four sides now having played twice.<\/p>\n

Ghana, who beat Madagascar 3-0 in their first group game, took the lead over CAR in the 17th minute through Ajax midfielder Mohammed Kudus.<\/p>\n

CAR fought back just before the break as Karl Namnganda, who plays in the fourth tier of French football, scored an equaliser.<\/p>\n

It means Ghana have won just one game in their eight matches so far this year.<\/p>\n

In Antananarivo it was Njiva Rakotoharimalala who gave Madagascar the lead after 36 minutes with Qatar-based Gelson Dala levelling things up before the break for Angola.<\/p>\n

Tunisia had also won their opening Group J game with a comfortable 4-0 win over Equatorial Guinea but they could not find a way past hosts Botswana in Francistown.<\/p>\n

The draw gives the Zebras their first point of the qualifying campaign after a 1-0 loss in Libya and means Tunisia have four points.<\/p>\n

The second round of Group J matches will be completed on Monday as Equatorial Guinea host Libya in Malabo.<\/p>\n

While some teams have already played two 2023 group-stage qualifiers Malawi began their campaign on Sunday with a 2-1 win over Ethiopia in Lilongwe.<\/p>\n

Malawi led the Group D game 2-0 at half-time thanks to two penalties from striker Gabadinho Mhango, Ethiopia’s goal also came from a spot-kick which was converted by Abubeker Nasir.<\/p>\n

The other Group D game kicks off at 1900GMT when Egypt host Guinea in Cairo, with Liverpool teammates Mohamed Salah and Naby Keita set to face each other.<\/p>\n
