  2. The Angola–Togo match was not played, as neither team could advance with a win.
  3. The result of the original Egypt–Zimbabwe match was annulled due to crowd violence; it was later replayed on neutral ground.
  4. The second Egypt–Zimbabwe match took place in France instead on in Egypt due to the crowd violence that had caused the previous match's results to be annulled.
  5. Libya was originally scheduled to play all of its matches away; however, it withdrew in protest to this ruling and due to the UN sanctions against it.
  6. The Morocco–Ethiopia match was suspended after 51 minutes due to Ethiopia being reduced to seven players; the result was affirmed.
