African 2nd round, Group J: | 3-1 | |
Liberia took the lead inside 2 minutes but Senegal fought back to win and could even afford to have Papiss Cisse miss a penalty. Liberia played the last half hour with 10 men. Angola play Uganda on Sunday.

Argentina go top of the table with a comfortable win over Ecuador. Aguero, Higuain and Messi all scored in the first half before Angel Di Maria added a fourth in the second half. Chile left Bolivia rooted to the foot of the table with a 2-0 win in La Paz. Uruguay lost top spot after Venezuela salvaged a point with a late equaliser in Montevideo after Diego Forlan had given the Copa America winners the lead. Uruguay still have South America's only unbeaten record. Peru face Colombia in the weekend's other game on Sunday.

Venezuela continue to surprise - they've really improved over the past few years. Are they the best-placed team of those who have never previously qualified?

They're the only South American team never to have previously qualified and with Brazil out of the way, this is their best ever chance.
The other zones aren't far enough along with their campaigns to gauge who else is in a good position to make it.
Asia's final round starts on Sunday. CONCACAF's penultimate round begins this week and Africa's group stage started this weekend.
After no debutants (unless you count Slovakia) in South Africa, I'd say there are half a dozen teams in with a shout of making their debut in 2014.

Tahiti survived a dramatic fight back from nine-man New Caledonia to effectively book their place in the next round. Only a heavy defeat to Vanuatu in their final game would stop them progressing. Tahiti led 3-0 at half-time with New Caledonia already reduced to 10 men when Georges Gope-Fenepej was sent off. New Caledonia's task looked impossible when Jean Wakanamune was also sent off early in the second half. Remarkably, Tahiti failed to take advantage and when New Caledonia scored twice in the final 15 minutes, the comeback looked on. Roihau Degage calmed Tahiti's nerves, putting them 4-2 up with six minutes left but New Caledonia weren't giving up yet and pulled another one back two minutes later to set up a tense finale. In the earlier game, Vanuatu earned their first win of the competition with a comfortable 5-0 victory over Samoa. New Caledonia are second in the table on goals scored ahead of Vanuatu, who realistically, must beat Tahiti in their final game on Tuesday to stand any chance of progressing, with New Caledonia facing whipping boys Samoa.

African 2nd round, Group A: | 1-1 | |
A disappointing result for Bafana Bafana who remain without a win since August. Ethiopia took the lead after half an hour thanks to Said Saladin. South Africa equalised through Katlego Mphela with 13 minutes remaining but couldn't find a winner. The result means the Central African Republic have the early advantage in the group after yesterday's win over Botswana.

Asian 4th round, Group A: Iran snatched a dramatic 94th minute winner after Uzbekistan had dominated their opening Group A tie. Qatar edged to victory against Lebanon, who missed a golden opportunity to equalise late on when Youssef Mohammed volleyed wide with only the keeper to beat. South Korea are the other team in Group A and have their first game against Qatar next week.

New Zealand booked their place in the next round with a 2-1 win over Papua New Guinea. Shane Smeltz put the All-Whites ahead inside two minutes and Chris Wood added a second just after half-time. New Zealand had Tony Lochhead sent off with two minutes to go and Neil Hans converting the resulting penalty to give PSG a glimmer of hope, but they couldn't find an equaliser and are eliminated from the competition. In the other game, the Solomon Islands and Fiji drew 0-0, meaning the Solomon Islands just need a draw against New Zealand to go through. If they lose, Fiji can leapfrog them if they win their final game against Papua New Guinea. If Fiji win 1-0 and the Solomon Islands lose 1-0, the two teams will be tied for 2nd in the group and would have to draw lots to decide who advances.

New Caledonia and Tahiti booked their places in the next round with convicing wins in their final group games. New Caledonia smashed nine past Samoa, which was enough book their placein the next round, regardless of the outcome of the match between Tahiti and Vanuatu. Jacques Haeko scored five, including two in the final minute. That result meant Vanuatu needed to beat Tahiti by five goals to snatch 2nd place in the group but that never looked likely after Nicolas Vallar put Tahiti ahead with a 15th minute penalty. Tahiti's Tehau brothers added three more between them, bringing their collective tally for the tournament to 14, by the time Vanuatu scored a consolation deep into injury time. Tahiti and New Caledonia go through to the semi-finals of the Nations Cup, which take place on Friday, with the winner of the tournament representing Oceania at next year's Confederations Cup. They also go through to the final round of World Cup qualifying, which starts in September. They will be joined by New Zealand and either the Solomon Islands or Fiji.
