Cameroon, Ghana, Morocco and Tunisia also booked their places in the finals on a frantic night of play-off action.
\nSenegal won the second leg of the African play-off 1-0 in Diamniadio thanks to a fourth-minute goal from Boulaye Dia and the teams finished level at 1-1 on aggregate after extra time.
