Soccer-Ivory Coast, Senegal move closer to booking World Cup berths

CAPE TOWN, Oct 10 (Reuters) – An avalanche of goals for the Ivory Coast and Senegal on Friday put both on the brink of World Cup qualification, which they can secure with home success in their last group matches next week to advance to next year’s finals in North America. African champions Ivory Coast beat the Seychelles 7-0 away to stay one point ahead of Gabon in the Group F standings and they will qualify if they win their final game at home to Kenya on Tuesday. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored all four goals for Gabon, before being sent off, as they came from behind to beat the Gambia 4-3 in a thrill-a-minute affair in Nairobi that kept alive their hopes. Senegal beat South Sudan 5-0 away to maintain their two-point advantage in Group B over the Democratic Republic of Congo who won 1-0 at Togo.
