The overall classification is led by Belgium, France follow, then Brazil, England and Uruguay who all fall in the top five.
The indomitable lions who are currently playing qualifiers ahead of the 2021 African Cup of Nations to be hosted in Cameroon were held to a zero-zero tie by Cape Verde in their first Group game last November 13in Yaounde.
In the second group game, the boys of Antonio Conceicao beat Rwanda one goal to nil in Kigali. The lone goal which gave the team the possibility to top their group with four points.
