Nigeria, South Africa out of nations cup
Ghana Quality
World Cup quarter-finalists Ghana went into their Group I match in the Sudan level on points with the hosts but showed their quality with first-half goals from former Sunderland pair Asamoah Gyan and John Mensah to win 2-0 in Khartoum.
In spite of the defeat, Sudan can only be dislodged from taking the final best group runners-up spot if the Central African Republic upset Algeria away on Sunday to top Group D and Morocco finish behind them on goal difference to qualify.
Botswana, Burkina Faso, the Ivory Coast and Senegal had already qualified before the weekend matches.
Nations Cup holders Egypt and four-times winners Cameroon were already out of contention before the last round of qualifiers for the January 21 to February 12 tournament.
