Sudan need to win their first African Cup of Nations match in 42 years by a three goal swing if they are to reach the last eight. Indeed, victory alone over Burkina Faso at the Estadio De Bata will not be enough for Sudan, who also need Ivory Coast to beat Angola in Group B’s other game. Ivory Coast have already qualified but need a point to win the group.

Ala Eldin now down. He just got hit in the stomach, but he has gone down Platoon style. Steven Taylor of Newcastle, eat your heart out.
88'
Bashir turns on the edge of the area, but shoots well over.
87'
Tahir's shot from outside the area flicks off a defender, but they waste the corner.

Akram is down again. This may well be time-wasting. They will regret that if Angola score!
84'
Ouedraogo blazes over after being set up by another reverse pass by Dagano. The substitute should have shot first time, but checked back.
82'
Akram is down after clearing the ball.

Sudan definitely believe now. Eltaib with another great piece of control, but he is eventually crowded out by Kabore. If it stays like this, Sudan are through and will face Zambia in the last eight.
