*

The death of a supporter overshadowed Zimbabwe's qualification for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations on Sunday.

Zimbabwe's FA said a fan was killed in a stampede outside the national stadium in Harare before their final Group G match against Congo-Brazzaville.

Despite the tragedy, the qualifier went ahead with Zimbabwe winning 2-0 to seal their place at Egypt 2019.

The Democratic Republic of Congo also qualified from the group with a 1-0 win over Liberia in Kinshasa.

Zimbabwe finished top of Group G with DR Congo second, two points adrift.

Liberia and Congo-Brazzaville - who were both in contention at the start of the day - were eliminated.
