The qualifying series for 2019 Africa Cup of Nations began Friday night with an unlikely result. Hitherto minnows, Madagascar, the native country of the new CAF President, Ahmad, began on a very bright note, beating Sudan 3-1 in Khartoum.
The visitors opened scoring in the 15th minute through Faneva Andriatsima. Carolus Andriamahitsinoro doubled the lead in the 62nd minute when he converted a penalty kick. The hosts fought back and pull a goal back nine minutes later.
But the visiting Madagascar were not done yet as Faneva Andriatsima achieved a brace with his 86th minute to put Madagascar on the driver’s seat of Group A.
The other Group A match will be contested on Saturday when Senegal host Equatorial Guinea .
