Tarik Tissoudali had already contributed to the 1-1 draw in Congo last week and the AA Gent star was again on the alert.
In the 7th minute of extra time in the first half, he put the 2-0 on the board. Morocco had sold Congo a mental uppercut there and ran out to 4-0 halfway through the second half.
Théo Bongonda came in for the visitors, who still managed to get on the scoreboard. There was nothing more in it and so it remains a distant dream.
In the other African jump-off matches Tunisia had enough of a 0-0 draw against Mali (back: 0-1), in Algeria-Cameroon they went all the way.
Choupo-Moting had erased the final score of the first leg (0-1 for Algeria) and penalties were only averted at the last minute.
Ahmed Touba, a few years ago still on the payroll of Club Brugge and even briefly a Belgian youth international, forced the 1-1 after 118 minutes.
And it wasn’t over yet. Algeria fell from its cloud: in the 124th minute Toko Ekambi Cameroon blasted into a delirium.
The 5 African World Cup participants are thus Ghana, Senegal, Morocco, Tunisia and Cameroon.
