Sudan made light of Ghana's Black Stars at Al-Merreikh Stadium in their AFCON matchday four qualifier on Tuesday.
After a goalless draw at the Accra Sports Stadium on Thursday, the Sudanese team led by former Ghana coach Kwasi Appiah performed well in the reserve fixture to extend their lead over their opponents in Group F.
Two quick second-half goals were enough for the home side to pick up the maximum points on the day.
The first was from Ahmed Hamed Mahmoud Mohamed in the 62nd minute before Mohamed Addelrahman doubled the lead 3 minutes later.
Africa Man United (#BlackStars) down by 2 goals to nill.

The result means the Black Stars is now in a difficult position to qualify for the AFCON tournament in Morocco next year.
Ghana are third in Group F with 2 points โ five points behind second-placed Sudan and 7 points adrift of leaders Angola who are on 9 points with two games to play.
Ghana will face Niger and Angola in their remaining two matches in November.
The top two teams automatically qualifies from each group.
