Sudan coach Kwesi Appiah was rue to rue his teams missed chances as they came up short again at the African Nations Championship CHAN following a 1-0 defeat to Madagascar in the semi-finals on Tuesday.
The pattern repeated for the Falcons of Jediane in Morocco as they fell at the penultimate hurdle for the third time, having also lost their last-four encounters in 2011 and 2018.
Appiahs side had gone through the group stages unbeaten and they eliminated 2022 finalists Algeria on penalties in the quarters to book a date with the Barea at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium.
