Senegal also boosted their qualification chances with a remarkable comeback win against the Democratic Republic of Congo. The day saw Egypt, South Africa, and Ivory Coast making progress in their respective groups.
Cape Verde's victory was sealed by striker Dailon Livramento's goal in the 54th minute. Senegal is aiming for their third consecutive World Cup appearance.
