The one-time African champions outclassed Egypt to claim their first win over the Pharaohs since 1975.

"My players beat a powerful team in Egypt, who won two successive Nation Cup titles," Abdullah told Sudanese paper Goan.

"That victory will boost their morale and increase their confidence whenever they face a big team."

Egypt will have to pick themselves up before facing DR Congo in a crucial World Cup qualifier next month.

The six-time African champions share Group 12 summit with DR Congo on nine points.
