Reigning African champions Egypt went down to a embarrassing 4-0 defeat at the hands of Sudan in Khartoum on Wednesday. A strong Pharoahs side went behind to an own goal from Mahmoud Fathallah in the first half to give Sudan a deserved lead. But three errors from reserve goalkeeper Mohamed Abdul-Monsef in the second-half allowed the hosts to inflict the heaviest defeat suffered by Egypt in five years. It is the first time Egypt have lost to Sudan since 1975. But one of Egypt's coaching staff, Shawki Gharieb, brushed off the defeat. "We always lose at that time of the year, because of the late start of the domestic season," he said.
