Defending champions Senegal booked their place in the last 16 of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations with a 3-1 win over Cameroon in Group C.
Ismaila Sarr put Senegal in front in the 16th minute and Habib Diallo made it 2-0 midway through the second half.
Jean-Charles Castelletto headed in to pull one back with seven minutes remaining to set up a nervy ending.
But, after George-Kevin Nkoudou had missed a free header to equalise, Sadio Mane sealed the win in stoppage time.
Senegal will top Group C if they avoid defeat in their final group outing against Guinea on Tuesday (17:00 GMT).
Guinea are second in the table after beating The Gambia 1-0 in the late game on Friday - a result which means Cameroon will most likely need to beat the Scorpions on Tuesday (17:00 GMT) to progress to the knockout stages.
The five-time continental champions, who have one point from two games, could go through as one of four best third-placed sides if they do not overhaul Guinea on goal difference or goals scored.
