Ethiopia held on to a 1-1 draw against Benin to go through to the next round of Africa Cup of Nations qualifying, and knock out their hosts.Other teams celebrating after Sunday's qualifiers are Zimbabwe, Mozambique, DR Congo and Togo, who all made sure of their progress.
But Kenya, Tanzania, Seychelles and Burundi have been eliminated from the race to South Africa 2013.
The winners go through to the final round of qualifying later this year.
Ethiopia showed that their revival is no fluke - following up a fine couple of performances in World Cup qualifying with a solid display in Cotonou.
They went behind against Benin but bounced back to equalise in difficult conditions, and held on for a 1-1 draw which takes them through on away goals.
