Kenya are now top of Group Two of the qualifiers

Group Two of the 2010 World Cup qualifiers is set for an explosive finish after Guinea held Zimbabwe to a 0-0 draw on Sunday.

The result at the Rufaro Stadium in Harare means Guinea will meet group leaders Kenya in the last game next month to decide who wins the group.

The Harambee Stars moved to the top of the group with ten points on Saturday after a 1-0 home win over Namibia in Nairobi.

Sylli Nationale remain second with eights points but they must beat Kenya in the final game in Conakry to clinch the group's automatic ticket.

The Harambee Stars need just a draw in the crucial match to win the group.

Kenya strengthened their chances of qualification on Saturday after Jamal Mohammed's strike helped them to defeat Namibia.

Mohammed secured the win after converting a 44th-minute penalty after left back John Njoroge had been tripped in the penalty area.

The win took the Kenyans to the summit of the group.

Namibia, 2008 Cup of Nations finalists, are unable to advance to the second phase of the qualifiers for the 2010 tournament.

The defeat leaves them bottom of the group with three points.

The top 20 teams from the second round of the World Cup qualifiers go through to the last phase, which starts in March.
