The skipper of El Merriekh, Daniel Khamis, increased the advantage after 42 minutes of play to make it 2-0 at the break.<\/p>\n<p>Yambio Stars attempted a number of adjustments, but none had any lasting effects on their ability to get past the strong Juba champion\u2019s defense.<\/p>\n<p>Sebit scored again in the 70th minute to worsen the Western Equatoria delegation\u2019s situation even more. New Nation FC of Maridi, one of Western Equatoria\u2019s representatives, was already out of the running after losing to Nimule\u2019s heavyweights, the Nile Eagles.<\/p>\n<p>The defeat would mean that Yambio Stars\u2019 chances of advancing to the next round are too narrow, despite having to play the return leg.<\/p>\n<p>Mathematically, Yambio Stars will need to score four goals without El Merriekh scoring any, which appears challenging.<\/p>\n<p>After defeating New Nation in Group B on aggregate (7-4) Nile Eagle became the first team to advance to the next round. They will play Wehida (Terekeka) away on January 26 before the return leg on January 30, 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, in Group \u201cA\u201d Rumbek, Burtit FC of Yirol advanced to the next stage after knocking out Mabil FC of Wanyjok on a play-off in a 6-0 Ag.<\/p>\n<p><b>Source: The City Review South Sudan<\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-sudan\">South-Sudan<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Sudan.
