Egypt were unable to register back-to-back wins in their 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign in Group F on Sunday following a 1-1 draw away to Gabon.
The Pharaohs had talisman Mohamed Salah available after Liverpool granted him permission having initially refused to allow him to play the match owing to Egypt being on the United Kingdom's red list of countries.
Gabon, who lost their opening match away at Libya last Wednesday, looked to their star man Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for inspiration.
Jim Allevinah instead responded to his nation's aid with the opener late in the second half after Egypt had Omar Gaber dismissed, but still clawed back at the death through Mostafa Mohamed.
Kenya failed to claim their first win in their Group E 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifier away at Rwanda, who came from behind to play to a 1-1 draw in Kigali.
None of these sides for that matter had managed victory prior to the clash, but the Harambee Stars looked to have seized dominance through an early finish by Michael Olunga.
Rwanda quickly wiped out the Qatari-based player's finish through a strike from Abdul Rwatubyaye, as the result leave Kenya second on two points and the host last with a single margin.
Namibia surged to the top of Group H in their 2022 World Cup qualifying journey with a 1-0 win away to 2006 World Cup participants Togo.
Following Friday's stalemate against Congo at the Orlando Stadiu, the Brave Warriors needed a solitary finish from Elmo Kambindu to overcome Paulo Duarte's men.
