Sudan play their first quater final in the African Cup of Nations since they won the tournament in 1970.
Sudan qualified for the quarter finals following their first win in African Cup of Nations since 1970 with a 2-1 win over Burkina Faso on Monday night. Also relying on a 2-0 win for Ivory Coast over Angola to go through on goal difference. Meanwhile, Zambia sealed their quarter final place and top spot in group A with a 1-0 win over co-hosts Equatorial Guinea, Chris Katongo grabbing the only goal of the game. Zambia will be however competing in their second quater finals in the tournament in a row after qualfying in 2010 in Angola. Although this time they will hopeful to get to the Semi final.
The game should be an open affair however it seems like it will go the way of Zambia as Sudan have failed to show any real quality only beating a poor Burkina Faso side 2-1. Zambia have shown real quality since the opening game with players like Chris Katongo and Emmanuel Mayuka making a real impact on the tournament.
