Lesotho 3 - Sudan 2

Sudan hosted Lesotho in Omdurman to close out Group D play.  Sudan grabbed an early lead in the third minute and tacked on a second goal midway through the period.  However, the young Crocodiles were not giving up, and a goal one minute from time made the score at halftime 2-1 in favor of Sudan.

Ahmed Abdalla was sent off for a second yellow in minute 63, leaving Sudan down a man for the final half hour of play.  With renewed belief, Lesotho pressed forward in attack.  They leveled the match at two goals apiece with a quarter hour to go.  Tsepo Koetle completed the comeback bid two minutes later to give the Crocodiles their first lead.  Lesotho hold on and win 3-2.
