qualifier that was resumed on Thursday after being
called off for adverse weather.
South Sudan claimed a spare of the spoils in their first World
Cup qualifying match, drawing 1-1 in the re-arranged game
against Mauritania.
The two sides had played out the first 10 minutes of the historic
CAF clash on Tuesday, but the fixture was called off due to
heavy rainfall, with the score at 1-1 after Dominic Abui Pretino
cancelled out Boubacar Bagili's third-minute opener
for Mauritania.
But, despite the remainder of the match being played in more
suitable conditions on Thursday, neither team were able to seal
a victory.
Elsewhere, Luis Leal's late strike ensured that Sao Tome and
Principe got their World Cup 2018 qualification campaign off to
a winning start as they overcame Ethiopia 1-0 – their first
triumph in over three years.
In Thursday's remaining game, Liberia were pegged back to a
1-1 draw by Guinea-Bissau in Monrovia.
