Kwesi Appiah guides Sudan to beat Mauritania in World Cup qualifiers

Former Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah has maintained his impressive record with the Sudanese national team in the ongoing 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

Sudan achieved a significant 2-0 away win over Mauritania in Nouakchott, putting them at the top of Group B, three points ahead of Senegal and DR Congo.

The Sudanese team started strong, taking the lead in the 15th minute when Saif Thierry finished a superb pass from Ramadan Agab. Their dominance was further rewarded in the 29th minute when Mauritanian defender Aly Abeid scored an own goal, doubling Sudan’s lead.

Despite Mauritania’s efforts to come back in the second half, Sudan’s defense held firm. Coach Appiah’s strategic substitutions in the later stages of the game ensured his team maintained control and secured the victory.

This win represents a significant step towards Sudan’s potential first-ever World Cup qualification. Appiah’s leadership and tactical acumen have been crucial in their progress so far.

Sudan’s next challenge is against South Sudan on June 11th. Fans remain hopeful that the team can sustain their impressive form and move closer to making history under Kwesi Appiah’s guidance.

With this latest victory, Sudan leads Group B with nine points, setting the stage for an exciting continuation of their World Cup qualifying campaign.
