00:00When Sudan qualified for the Africa Cup of Nations in 2025, will they be able to repeat such a feat?
00:08It'll be a daunting task as the Senegal side led by Captain Teridou Koulibaly will look to provide not only
00:18the result, but also the performance.
00:20As a manager, he accumulated experiences in Europe. Here he is now with his first international management job.
00:30And we are underway here in Dakar, the Stade Leopold Sédard, Senghor.
00:37Senegal playing in their green kits, attacking from the end.
00:41In 2021, Senegal lifted the Africa Cup of Nations trophy.
00:49Finally, defeating Egypt on penalties in Cameroon.
00:54What a campaign that was. What a group they had.
00:59Formed a defensive partnership with Abdou Diallo, and Sadio Mane was the main striker, the main threat going forward, might
01:07I say.
01:10Sadie Boussane, the IS Monaco centre-back, venturing forward.
01:17And then, Sudan, whether that initial wave, well that wave of attack that didn't really seem to end.
01:32That's Senegal to dictate tempo.
01:34Nicholas Jackson with another one of his trademark spins, the stepovers.
01:39Mbaye is in the right place, right time.
01:41He goes for goal. It's built.
01:43Jackson on the rebound!
01:49Nicholas Jackson, the Premier League star,
01:56gets the all-important opener in a match
02:00that was so few and far between and clear chances.
02:10He spotted that Mohamed Al-Moustafa
02:13might spill.
02:17And like a lion, he pounced.
02:24The Aston Villa man gets his 10th goal for the Lyon de la Teronga.
02:29Double digits for Nicholas Jackson.
02:37Patrick Vieira
02:40with a very subdued celebration, if one at all.
02:47Nicholas Jackson was enterprising, industrious.
02:51Then Ibai Mbaye kept it low.
02:53Difficult for the goalkeeper to stop,
02:55but he really should do better there, Mohamed Al-Moustafa.
02:59The ball slipping between his fingers.
03:02And then Nicholas
03:05to run down his left flank.
03:07It has been interesting.
03:12Koulibaly on the trajectory.
03:15It's a bit of volleyball we're seeing,
03:16and that's a great header.
03:17A towering one from Abdallah.
03:23This is great from Sudan,
03:24who may be in for the equalizer.
03:26They are!
03:29Incredible!
03:30Abouagla Abdallah,
03:32who's at the source
03:34and at the conclusion.
03:36The captain fantastic
03:39ices the St-Leopold-Sédar-Senghor.
03:43With a goal that not many would have seen coming.
03:46A rare incursion forward
03:49as the seconds ticked towards the halftime.
03:52And Sudan
03:53have made amends for the error of their goalkeeper.
04:01As there's a whistle in his mouth
04:02and calls for an end
04:04to the first half.
04:07The St-Leopold-Sédar-Senghor
04:09has witnessed
04:09a very interesting
04:11turn of events.
04:13Senegal
04:14opened the scoring
04:15thanks to their star striker,
04:17Nicholas Jackson,
04:18who pounced on a loose ball
04:19provoked by
04:20by Membaye's
04:21drilled shot.
04:23They didn't seem as if
04:25they were pushing too hard
04:26for that second.
04:28And in the final moments
04:30in regulation time,
04:32it was Abdallah
04:34who got the
04:35all-important goal,
04:37just
04:39penetrating into the box
04:42and scoring an equalizer
04:44to ice the Stade Leopold-Sédar-Senghor.
04:481-1.
04:50Lyon de la Teronga
04:57show much more
04:59of their offensive potential
05:02in the second half.
05:04And we are underway.
05:07Senegal against Sudan.
05:09They'll be playing
05:10against each other
05:11in four days' time.
05:12Sudan will be
05:13the host that will be played in.
05:16Jouma.
05:16There's Abdallah.
05:19Galvanized by that goal he scored.
05:25got the best of
05:26Cadidou Goulibaly.
05:28It was a captain's duel
05:30won by the number two
05:31of Sudan.
05:33El-Haji Malik Diouf
05:35brought down
05:35by Saladin Adil.

05:56shivers down the spines
05:58of the Senegalese
06:00supporters.
06:02Sudan slicing through
06:04like butter.
06:06Saladin's
06:07ideal's cross was
06:11slightly too close.
06:13In these 15 minutes
06:14since the restart,
06:16scored the opener.
06:20well, interesting counterattack
