Sudan will face 2022 champions Senegal in the last 16 of the Africa Cup of Nations after losing 2-0 to Burkina Faso in their final group game on Wednesday, while Algeria beat Equatorial Guinea 3-1.
Lassina Traores early strike put Burkina Faso ahead at the Mohammed V Stadium in Casablanca, before Algozoli Nooh missed a penalty for Sudan. Arsene Kouassi, of French Ligue 1 side Lorient, sealed Burkina Fasos win late on.
Both teams had already qualified for the knockout stage from Group E behind Algeria. Burkina Faso needed to avoid defeat to advance in second place. The 2013 runners-up will go to Marrakesh for a last-16 tie against the winners of Group F, which concludes later Wednesday with reigning champions Ivory Coast vying for top spot alongside Cameroon and Mozambique.
