Sudan coach Mohamed Abdullah acclaimed his side's stunning 4-0 friendly victory over Egypt as an ideal morale booster. The one-time African champions outclassed Egypt to claim their first win over the Pharaohs since 1975. "My players beat a powerful team in Egypt, who won two successive Nation Cup titles," Abdullah told Sudanese paper Goan. "That victory will boost their morale and increase their confidence whenever they face a big team." Egypt will have to pick themselves up before facing DR Congo in a crucial World Cup qualifier next month. The six-time African champions share Group 12 summit with DR Congo on nine points.
