Benin beats Sudan 2-1

OMDURMAN, Sudan (AP) — Romuald Boco scored the winning goal to give Benin a 2-1 victory over Sudan in a meaningless World Cup qualifier Saturday. Boco put Benin ahead for good in the 62nd minute in a match between two teams who had no chance of reaching next year's tournament. Ghana had already secured the World Cup spot from Group D after four matches.

Razak Omotoyossi put Benin ahead in the 36th with a penalty, before Hassan Ishag leveled for Sudan just before halftime with another spot kick.

Ghana has 12 points in the group and will play Mali on Sunday. Sudan remained in last place with just one point.
