Nottingham Forest striker Junior Agogo scored the only goal in the victory against Namibia tonight which put Ghana on the verge of qualifying for the knockout stages of the African Nations Cup.

Agogo bundled home from close range in the 41st minute but the hosts struggled to impose themselves on their Group A opponents - who are knocked out as a result of the defeat - and could easily have conceded in the second half.

Pascal Feindouno scored two goals and was then sent off as Guinea put themselves back in contention in the group with a 3-2 victory over Morocco.

The midfielder opened the scoring early on with a curling free-kick, before playing Ismael Bangoura in for the second shortly before the hour mark.

A bizarre few minutes saw Hicham Aboucherouane pull a goal back and Feindouno restore the two-goal cushion from the spot after which he was dismissed for kicking out at an opponent.

Abdeslam Ouaddou added a late second for Morocco but it was not enough.
