In the first game, the Desert Foxes need a last-minute equaliser to draw 1-1 with the Syli Nationale putting them on 5 points, one behind Uganda Cranes who are on six.
Guinea took the lead in the 62nd minute against a run of play but with two minutes to play, Sofiane Bayazid levelled matters to the disappointment of the West Africans.
In the second game watched by a sizeable crowd, Niger frustrated favourites Bafana Bafana in a scoreless draw.
Twice, the South Africans had penalty calls overturned by VAR for alleged foul and handball.
