NAIROBI, Kenya (KBC) - Sudan beat Somalia 3-0 in Group C of the Cecafa senior challenge cup to enhance their chances of qualifying for the quarterfinals. Somalia put up an inspiring show early in the game with Yusuf Ali missing the target narrowly in the 8th minute. The Sudanese rallied and got the opener seven minutes later through Natali Gemi.
Somalia were depleted in the 34th minute after midfielder Mohammed Noor was red-carded by Tanzania referee Victor Mwandike for serious foul play, though his dismissal encouraged them to raise their tempo.
But the Sudanese took advantage of the numerical superiority in the second half with goals from Zakariah Zuhar 68th minute and another striker from Gemi ten minutes later.
In the other game of the group, Uganda beat Rwanda 1-0 to qualify for the quarterfinals.
