CAN Maroc-2025 : Les Soudanais en huitièmes sans marquer le moindre but
History will remember that Sudan secured their place in the round of 16 of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations without scoring a single goal from open play. The Nile Crocodiles qualified as one of the best third-placed teams in Group E with 3 points, at the end of a most unusual group stage.
Sudan's journey was built on defensive solidity and a touch of luck. Their only victory, secured in the second match against Equatorial Guinea, was by the narrowest of margins (1-0), thanks to an own goal by Saul Coco. This win was enough to keep their hopes alive, and ultimately sealed an unexpected qualification.
However, Sudan lost their other two matches. They suffered a heavy defeat against Algeria (0-3), followed by a loss to Burkina Faso (0-2). In the latter match, the Sudanese had opportunities to score, but a missed penalty highlighted their attacking struggles in this tournament.
Despite not scoring a single goal, Sudan nevertheless managed to capitalize on the rules and the tight competition in Group E to continue their continental journey. They will face Senegal next Saturday in Tangier at 5 p.m.
