Depleted Egypt suffered a shock 2-0 loss to Ethiopia as World Cup-bound Morocco and Cameroon recorded narrow victories in Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers on Thursday.

Egypt were without injured Mohamed Salah, Mohamed Elneny and Mahmoud Trezeguet, but were still expected to brush the Ethiopians aside in their Group D fixture played in neutral Lilongwe due to the latter’s home venue not meeting Confederation of African Football standards.
