Lesotho were third on six points, while Cape Verde finished bottom on five points after both teams played out to a scoreless draw in Praia.

The home team opened scoring in the 21st minute through Morocco-based Simon Msuva, before they scored two more goals after the break.

The Tanzanian government has promised the team handsome cash rewards on qualification for the AFCON holding in Egypt in June.
