Senegal brought Sudan’s run to an end with a 3-0 win at the Tanger Stadium, becoming the first team to book a place in the quarterfinals of the Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.
Senegal imposed their control early and turned that dominance into goals, leaving Sudan chasing the game for long spells.
The breakthrough gave Senegal the edge they needed, and they kept the pressure on to prevent Sudan from settling or finding a way back into the match.
Sudan tried to respond after the restart, but Senegal stayed sharp, managed the tempo well and struck again to widen the gap and tighten their grip on the contest.
With Sudan forced to take more risks, Senegal capitalised and completed the scoring with a third goal, sealing a clear victory and confirming their status as the first side to reach the last eight of the tournament.
The result ends Sudan’s campaign, while Senegal move on confidently as the knockout stage takes shape in Morocco.
