Khartoum — Sudan beat DR Congo in Omdurman last, goals in either half from Waleed Bakhet and Mohamed Abdel Rahman gave Sudan the lead and a comfortable cushion against Les Leopards, who scored a late goal by Jonathan Bolingi.

The Sudanese broke the deadlock in the 16th minute after a strong start, Bakhet breaking into the box to slide the ball under the keeper off an assist from Abdel Rahman.

The home side controlled the tempo of the game and had more chances, but in vain as they went to the break a goal up.

In the second half, DR Congo came back stronger and forced the hosts to play on the backfoot. However, their biggest undoing was lack of a decisive pass in the final third.

With four minutes left, Sudan killed off the tie off a counter attack. Abdel Rahman broke away through the middle before playing Mozamil Mohamed on the right, the latter cutting back a pass to Rahman for the second goal.

Meanwhile the Boss of Dr Congo Hector Cuper was relieved because he lost a second consecutive match.
