Togo won their second straight 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier when triumphing 2:0 in Djibouti but did so without star striker Emmanuel Adebayor.

Uganda edged to victory away to Comoros in Group D thanks to a single goal which came in the 25th minute.

Tonny Mawejje struck the decisive blow to lift the Cranes top of the table on a maximum six points from two games.

Uganda almost missed the tie because of financial difficulties but Ugandan President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni provided $210,000 to cover the team's travel costs.

In the group's other tie, Botswana beat Burkina Faso 1:0.

Joel Mogorilosi scored five minutes after the interval and his side held on to the advantage over the 2013 beaten finalists to secure their first points.

In Group J Seychelles also took their first point after a 1:1 draw with visitors Ethiopia.

Nelson Laurence slotted home a 24th minute penalty to give the hosts a surprise lead which lasted half an hour. 

A strike by Tesfaye Seyoum restored parity and put Ethiopia top of the table from Algeria who travel to Lesotho on Sunday.

Fiston Abdul Razak grabbled the opener on 24 minutes and Papy Faty sealed the win with seven minutes of the tie remaining.

English Premier League stars Cheikhou Kouyate, of West Ham, and Southampton's Sadio Mane got the goals.

Three-time African champions Nigeria were fortunate to earn a point away to Tanzania in Group G, just about keeping their opponents out in a 0:0 draw.
