CAF World Cup Qualifying Re- Cap:-: Historic South Sudan clash called off, Kenya thump Mauritius

Kenya won 5-2 away to Mauritius but South Sudan's
historic game with Mauritania was rained off in the
African World Cup qualifiers.

South Sudan's first appearance in a World Cup qualifying match
was abandoned after just 10 minutes on Wednesday because of
heavy rain.

The clash with Mauritania was halted with the score at 1-1 and
the adverse weather conditions persisted.

Before the rain brought an end to proceedings, Dominic Abui
Pretino's scored his country's first World Cup qualifying goal to
equalise Boubacar Bagili's opener in the third minute.

FIFA has confirmed the game will resume on Thursday from the
point on the clock at which it stopped, at 11.00 local time.

Kenya got their campaign off to a flyer with a 5-2 victory away
to Mauritius

Johanna Omolo opened the scoring as Kenya raced into a 3-0
lead inside 50 minutes, but the home side reduced he deficit
through a penalty from Andy Sophie and a Jonathan Bru strike.

However, another goal from Omolo and a fifth from Michael
Olunga just five minutes later ensured an emphatic first-leg
advantage as round one got under way.

Elsewhere, Tanzania recorded a valuable 2-0 victory at home to
Malawi, with Mbwana Aly Samatta and Thomas Ulimwengu
each finding the net in quick succession midway through the
first half.

Abdoul Razak Fiston was the hero for Burundi as they won 1-0
away to Seychelles, while Comoros and Lesotho played out a
0-0 draw.
