Sudan leads Group D World Cup qualifiers

SUDAN yesterday took over sole leadership of Group D despite failing to replicate their form which won them the opening 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifier over Zambia, settling for a barren draw in Lesotho at the Setsoto Stadium in Maseru.

Despite the setback at Group D minnows, Lesotho, Sudan lead the group on four points, one better than Ghana and African champions, Zambia.

Ghana, who had battered the tiny Southern African kingdom 7-0, were humbled 0-1 by Zambia in Ndola on Saturday.

Ghana are second by virtue of having a healthier goal difference than the Chipolopolo while Lesotho are bottom with just point.

Prior to this match the Lesotho Football Association had offered their players more than R5,000 (about K3.2 million) each as an incentive to beat the Sudanese.

And the Ghana Football Association (GFA) have said they will view the footage of their World Cup qualifier against Zambia to verify claims of assault by the police and that the Ghanaian officials were denied entry into the VIP section of the Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in Ndola.

During the post match Press conference, GFA communications director, Ibrahim Sannie-Daara threatened to drag Zambia to the Confederation of African Football over the alleged assault of Derek Boateng, Adam Kwarasey and Ben Acheampong.

The players were alleged to have been abused by police officers in the aftermath of the match.

The Ghanaians were also complaining of unsporting treatment of its officials by the Football Association of Zambia who were allegedly made to sit in the crowd.

Other results from yesterday’s matches, Mozambique 0-0 Zimbabwe, Ethiopia 2-0 Central African Republic, Tanzania 2-1 Gambia, Rwanda 1-1 Benin and DR.         source-bolayathu
