Comoros Islands have taken a big step towards playing in the group stages of 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying by beating Mauritius 2-nil.
They will defend their advantage in the second leg in Mauritius on Tuesday, with the aggregate winner progressing to play in Group B for a place at the Cameroon finals.
Morocco, Malawi and reigning champions Cameroon will also play in Group B but the Indomitable Lions’ matches will not count towards the final table as they qualify automatically as hosts.
Only the pool winners earn a place at the tournament.
