Senegal came from behind to beat Sudan in the opening fixture of the Round of 16 in AFCON. The 1970 champions took a shocking lead when Aamir Abdallah scored his first international goal with a curling shot.
However, Senegal entered the dressing room with a 2-1 lead after two goals by Pape Gueye. Former Bayern Munich winger Sadio Mané and Nicolas Jackson provided the assists for the Villarreal midfielder.
The Bayern Munich loanee was taken off early in the second-half after receiving a yellow card. Senegal sealed the win with a fine counterattacking move finished by PSG’s Ibrahim Mbaye in the 77th minute. Pape Thiaw’s team will face either Tunisia or Mali in the quarter-final next Friday.
