CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - Richard Mbulu’s diving header handed Malawi a 1-0 victory over Uganda on Monday and a place at the Africa Cup of Nations finals for only the third time.

The triumph in Blantyre secured Malawi the runners-up spot in Group B, finishing behind already-qualified Burkina Faso but ahead of Uganda.

They are the 19th country to qualify for next January’s final. The final five places at the 24-team tournament will be settled on Tuesday. All of Monday’s other qualifiers had no bearing on qualification but settled the placings in several groups. Kenya finished third as they won 2-1 away in Togo, likely marking the end of the long career of Frenchman Claude Le Roy, now 73, who has coached at nine Cup of Nations finals.
