Egypt went through to Africa's World Cup qualifying playoffs after fighting back from 0-2 down for a 2-2 draw in Angola.

The point ensured Egypt won Group F with a game to spare and denied Gabon the chance of stealing the playoff place in a decisive final group game in Egypt next week.

Egypt went into its match knowing it needed just a draw, and found itself 2-0 down after 36 minutes. But goals by Mohamed Elneny and Akram Tawfik - both set up by captain Mohamed Salah - clinched the draw.
