South Sudan reach Cecafa Cup quarter-finals

South Sudan have qualified for the quarter-finals of the 2015 Cecafa Senior Challenge Cup in Ethiopia after beating Malawi on Friday.

Having only been recognised by Fifa in 2012, South Sudan have quickly set about building a reputation.

On Friday they shocked guest side Malawi 2-0 at the Bahir Dar Stadium, thanks to goals from James Joseph Saeed Mogaand Bruno Martinez, to finish top of Group C and book their place in the last eight of the tournament.

"This is good for our country and we shall celebrate this today," said Martinez after the game.

Malawi are also through to the last eight despite the loss.

Sudan won their first match at the event beating Djibouti 4-0 in the same group. Djibouti are eliminated while Sudan advance as one of the best-third placed sides.

Zanzibar were surprise 3-1 winners over Kenya in Group B but that it was their first win of the tournament and not enough for them to progress.

Kenya must wait for the result of Saturday's final two matches to see if they make it into the last eight.

In Group A Rwanda were 3-0 winners over Somalia, who crash out of the tournament after three straight defeats.

In the final round of matches, Uganda play Burundi in Group B in a winner-takes-all clash, while in Group A hosts Ethiopia take on Tanzania, who have already qualified for the last eight. A win for Ethiopia will take them through as well.
