Gambia went into Algeria with the lead in Group F and a two-point cushion over third-place Algeria. By the time the game was done, Algeria were on top of the group and had a one-point lead over both Gambia and Sénégal, who play Liberia on June 22. Algeria score once in the first half, and the 1-0 lead at the break held for the entirety of the second half, giving the Algerians a one-goal, shutout victory.
Lesotho faced Libya in Tripoli, but their hosts were not kind to them. Libya got themselves on the board within five minutes and kept the 1-0 lead going into the half. In the ensuing period, Libya added three more goals and won the game 4-0. Libya currently have a three-point lead in Group E over second-place Ghana, who play on June 22.
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines needed a miracle on the road to overcome Canada's 3-0 aggregate lead. It didn't happen. Canada struck twice in each half to grab a 4-0 edge before Saint Vincent and the Grenadines scored their first and only goal of 2010 qualifying to lose 4-1 and be eliminated by an aggregate tally of 7-1.
