Senegal continued their quest to reclaim the Africa Cup of Nations title on Saturday as they came from behind to beat Sudan in the round of 16. The match was the Lions’ to lose as they faced Sudan, making their debut in the AFCON knockout stages, and they did stumble in the early stages as Aamir Abdallah opened the scoring after just six minutes, bending a lovely strike well beyond the reach of Edouard Mendy. But Senegal did not trail for long, quickly coming back as Pape Gueye levelled the score and put the Lions of Teranga back in front deep in first-half stoppage time.
