If the aggregate score was tied after the second leg, the away goals rule would be applied, and if still level, the penalty shoot-out would be used to determine the winner (no extra time would be played).

Benin won the penalty shoot-out 4–3 and advanced to the second round.

The tie was scratched after Nigeria were awarded the hosting rights: Equatorial Guinea also qualified for the final tournament.

South Africa won 7–0 on aggregate and qualified for the final tournament.
