Lesotho 0 - Sudan 0

A result for Sudan on the road in Maseru against Lesotho would put Sudan on top of Group D.  Surprisingly, the young Lesotho side were the team that looked more likely to score, but the Sudanese defense held tough.  Mohamed Tahir nearly scored an opener for Sudan, but his shot was saved.  Elmez Muhgoub was on his game in goal for Sudan, providingly timely cover for his defense.  The half ended 0-0.

Sudan again nearly snatched a goal against the run of play when Mohamed Ahmed Bashir hit a post with a shot.  The Crocodiles of Lesotho were unable to find a goal anywhere, meaning that their match with Sudan ended in a forgettable 0-0 draw.  Sudan may be frustrated with only picking up a point against a team that had lost their previous match by seven goals, but they nevertheless are the leaders of Group D at the end of 2012.

Sudan 4 pts +2
Ghana 3 pts +6
Zambia 3 pts -1
Lesotho 1 pts -7
