CAPE TOWN : Egypt came from behind to beat Guinea 2-1 on Wednesday and secure a record-extending 26th appearance at the Africa Cup of Nations finals as they made sure of top spot in their qualifying group with one match to play in the preliminary competition.
Guinea, who needed only one point to qualify, took the lead through Serhou Guirassy after 27 minutes but saw Salah then miss twice from close range before Trezeguet equalised. Gambia, who were the surprise package of the last Cup of Nations finals as they reached the quarter-finals in their debut appearance, strengthened their chances of returning after a dramatic last-gasp goal earned them a 3-2 win over South Sudan.
South Sudan twice came back after that only to see the points slip away and defeat ended their hopes of reaching the finals.
