Eurosport - Sun, 27 Jan 16:44:00 2008

Algeria moved one step closer to qualifying for their first womens' Olympic tournament with a brilliant 3-1 win over Senegal in the third game of their African qualifying campaign.

The victory was their third in as many matches and saw Algeria top the five-team group with an unblemished record.

Kenya are keeping up the pressure on them though - just a point behind - as they beat South Africa 3-0.

The results mean that Senegal and South Africa cannot now qualify for Beijing, and Cameroon - who had a day off - must now beat Senegal and hope that Algeria lose to South Africa to have any chance of qualifying themselves.
