The Suez Canal Stadium in Ismailia, witnessed South Sudan, in their first-ever appearance at the U-20 AFCON, make the quarterfinals following a 0-0 draw with neighbouring Uganda in Group C.
Although Uganda dominated the early exchanges of the East African derby, South Sudan at the stroke of half-time, scored what could have been the only goal of the game, however, Felix Abishai's celebration was cut short after he was ruled to be offside.
The draw sees South Sudan finish in third position, trailing only Congo and Uganda, who are tied for first place in Group C.
They will take on Gambia in next week's quarterfinal in Alexandria, while Uganda will meet Nigeria on the same day, but in Cairo.

The outcome of the tie sees Congo proceed to the quarterfinal where they would take on Group C's runner-up at Suez, next Thursday.
