Knockout format:

  • a) Team scoring greater number of goals advances.

Notes

  1. ↑ Senegal had to play their home match in the third round at a neutral venue, due to a one-year ban from playing at their home stadium imposed by the CAF following riots in their 2013 Africa Cup of Nations qualification match against Côte d'Ivoire.[7][8]
