Djibouti will be in the draw for Africa's first World Cup
Djibouti have beaten Somalia 1-0 in a preliminary qualifier for the World Cup in South Africa in 2010.
The result means Djibouti go into the hat for the qualifying draw for Africa's first ever World Cup.
That takes place in Durban on 25 November 25.
Djibouti are ranked 200th in the world, seven places below their opponents.
The game was a one-off, because the security situation in Mogadishu prevented them playing the first-leg there.
Defeat for Somalia's Ocean Stars means they will be without competitive football for three years.
World Cup qualifying doubles as the selection campaign for the Nations Cup in 2010, which takes place in Angola.
On Saturday Sierra Leone defend a 1-0 nil lead over Guinea-Bissau in Bissua.
In Moroni, Comoros Islands must try to overcome a 6-2 deficit to Madagascar.
