A quick summary of action around the second legs of the CAF playoffs on SAT 16-TUE 19 NOV 2013. Series aggregate results are shown below.

• Nigeria 04-01 Ethiopia: Victor MOSES and Victor OBINNA scored in the 2-0 second leg win, earning the Super Eagles a trip to their fifth Men’s World Cup.
• Senegal 02-04 Côte d’Ivoire: After falling 3-1 in the first leg, Senegal battled hard and were awarded a penalty late on, though Sadio MANE appeared to go down easily on Didier DROGBA’s challenge. Moussa SOW scored, and the Teranga Lions were one goal away from winning on away goals. In stoppage time, they nearly had the winner, but it was cleared off the line, leading to Salomon KALOU’s goal at the other end.
• Cameroon 04-01 Tunisia: After a goalless first leg, Cameroon took a 2-0 lead at halftime of this match. Ahmed AKAICHI, having entered at the interval, scored for the Carthage Eagles in the 50th minute, meaning that they needed one more to qualify on away goals. But a pair of late goals from Jean MAKOUN ensured the Lions’ indomitability.
• Egypt 03-07 Ghana: The Pharaohs played in Cairo, before a full crowd, for the first time since the Port Said disaster nearly two years ago. But Ghana’s 6-1 first leg win was too much to overcome.
• Algeria 03-03 Burkina Faso [02-00 away goals]: Madjid BOUGHERRA had the lone goal of the evening, which was enough to send the Fennec Foxes to Brazil on away goals.
• Eliminated: Burkina Faso, Egypt, Ethiopia, Senegal, Tunisia
