A chance for a double over Sudan lies in wait this week as Guinea Bisau lock heads in the World Cup 2022 qualifiers. The match schedules for Monday at the Stade de Marrakech in Group I clash with kickoff at 7 pm.
Both sides are playing for pride, especially after Morocco’s qualification bid into the World Cup 2022.
Guinea-Bissau was able to end Guinea’s five-match winning run in the qualifiers, and the African side held on for a deserved draw to push the Syli Nationale further down.
Neither team held the upper hand for any extended period. If anything, it was Sudan who seemed more eager to make an impression on the game.
The first half saw attempts from both teams’ strikers, with Nawaf El-Temy escaping his marker to head a shot agonisingly wide of the Guinnea Bisau goal.
After 20 minutes before, Badara Samb found himself in space just six yards out after intercepting a lax pass out from defence. But he could only guide his shot into the arms of keeper Fegen Seid.
The stalemate leaves Sudan waiting to see if they can hold off Togo to finish second in Group I, though the chances are looking slim given their superior goal difference.
Sudan head into this game, having failed to keep a clean sheet in their last four games across all competitions.
