Soccer's world governing body FIFA has annulled Sudan's 2-0 win over Zambia in a 2014 World Cup qualifier because the team fielded ineligible players. FIFA said on Monday that Zambia was awarded a 3-0 win because Saif Ali shouldn't have played in the June 2 match in Khartoum and is therefore "lost by forfeit by Sudan". Sudan football association was also fined 6430 U.S. dollars. Zambia now leads Group D with six points from two matches, and Sudan falls to third place with one point. Ghana has three points and last-place Lesotho has one.
