Sudan Hold Senegal to Goalless Draw, Stay Top of Group B in World Cup Qualifiers

Sudan’s impressive campaign in the 2026 FIFA World Cup African qualifiers continued on Saturday as they held tournament favorites Senegal to a hard-fought 0-0 draw in Benghazi, Libya.

The result keeps Sudan unbeaten and at the top of Group B with 11 points from five matches—two points ahead of Senegal and one ahead of DR Congo, who are second in the standings.

For the Lions of Teranga, the draw adds extra pressure ahead of their crucial clash with Togo on Tuesday. Despite their experience and attacking strength, Senegal struggled to break down a well-organized and resilient Sudanese side, which has emerged as the surprise team of the group.
