Rising Stars thrash Sudan to storm U20 Afcon qualifiers semis

Kevin Wangaya scored the fourth goal and his fourth of the tournament as the Salim Babu-led charges moved closer to securing their first ever Under-20 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) ticket.

Rising Stars finished top of Group A on 10 points after three wins and a draw, and will face Group B second-placed Burundi in the semi-finals on Friday.

A win will secure Kenya a ticket to the junior Afcon slated for January in South Africa.

The top two teams from each group have automatically advanced to the semi-finals. Thereafter, the two finalists will earn the honour of representing the CECAFA region at the AFCON U-20 tournament next year.

Group A: Kenya, Tanzania, Sudan, Rwanda, Djibouti

Group B: Uganda, South Sudan, Burundi, Ethiopia
