Sudan defeated neighbours South Sudan 3-0 to keep dominating the CAF World Cup Qualification Group B that also has Senegal and DR Congo.

A first half goal from Walieldin Khedr (45’+3) and a goal each in the second half from Yasir Mozamil, (51′) and Mohamed Abdelrahman, (78′) ensured that Sudan walked out of their neighbors’ newly renovated stadium with all three points.

He further emphasized President Kiir’s and the entire government’s commitment to advancing the country’s sports industry.
