| 1 |  Zambia ★ 2 3Zambia, Cameroon and Gabon all finished on 4 points with identical goal difference (0). Cameroon beat Zambia head-to-head 3-2, yet finished below them: CAF's tiebreak rule considers only a mini-table among the tied teams (excluding results against 4th-placed Tunisia) — within it, goals scored among themselves decided it (Zambia 4, Cameroon 3, Gabon 2). | CAF | 3 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 5 | 5 | 0 | 4 |
