AFCON 2025: Senegal beat Sudan, become first team to qualify for quarter-final
Senegal avoided a shock elimination from the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, after they came from behind to beat Sudan 3-1 in their Round of 16 fixture on Saturday evening.
The Teranga Lions were behind as early as the sixth minute after Aamir Abdallah Yunis curled in the opening goal.
But they went into the break in front, thanks to two goals from Papa Gueye in the 29th and 45th minutes of play.
In the second half, Ibrahim Mbaye added a third as Senegal progressed into the next round.
They will now take on the winner of the Tunisia vs Mali last-16 clash for a place in the semi-final.
