Comoros hosted nearby Mozambique in their second ever home match in a FIFA World Cup. Just as they had in their 2012 African Cup of Nations qualifier is Mitsamiouli in October 2010, Comoros hung tough with highly favored Mozambique and saw out a scoreless first half.However, much as in the 2010 meeting, Mozambique were able to score once and make the goal count for three points. In 2010, Mozambique were made to wait until stoppage time, but this time around a converted penalty kick provided the winner and a 1-0 scoreline. Mozambique take the vital road goal back home for the second leg in four days.
Namibia striker Rudolf Bester (pictured) of Orlando Pirates was the star of the day in Djibouti as Namibia paid a visit. Bester provided the only goal of the first half at the quarter hour mark. Namibia lead 1-0 at the break.
Lazarus Kaimbi came on as a substitute for Namibia to try to put the game out of reach for hosts Djibouti. Bester assisted a Kaimbi goal five minutes after the restart and Kaimbi assisted a Bester goal fifteen minutes later to put the game beyond doubt. One final goal fell, and Namibia win 4-0 in Djibouti and look almost certain to advance to the CAF Second Round.
