MK Dons striker Mo Eisa scores on debut for Sudanese national team
MK Dons striker Mo Eisa marked his debut for the Sudan national team with his first goal for the country.
The 29-year-old was called up by Sudan and scored from the penalty spot in a match against Togo on Thursday night (16/11), which was the North African country’s first qualifying game for the 2026 World Cup.
Eisa’s goal had opened the scoring, with Togo later equalising in a game that finished 1-1 played on neutral ground in Libya.
The MK Dons striker would play the first half of the game, before being replaced at half-time by his younger brother Abo, who plays for Grimsby Town.
Sudan play their second qualifier against DR Congo, which will also be held in Libya, tomorrow (19/11). The team are in a first qualifying round six team group, with home and away fixtures through to October 2025 against Togo, DR Congo, Senegal, South Sudan and Mauritania.
Eisa is one of 3 MK Dons players on international duty in the current window, with defender Tommy Smith featuring for New Zealand and young defender Phoenix Scholtz representing the Northern Ireland under-19s.
The three call-ups lead to the postponement of MK Dons’ match against AFC Wimbledon, which had been scheduled to take place today (18/11).
