Egypt dominate Mauritania

Striker Mohamed Zidan, who has been in a rich goal scoring form for his German club Mainz, got Egypt off to a 12th minute lead , with a curling shot after a sublime set up from captain Ahmed Hassan.

Mauritania defender Bilal Sidibe then miscued a clearance from Hossam Ghali's cross to score an own goal, his second in successive qualifying campaigns.

Tottenham's Ghali then provided the final goal in the 66th minute with a spectacular bicycle kick.

Egypt top the group with seven points, three clear of Botswana.
