Sudan get us underway for the first-half of this fiery encounter in Group E. Algeria and Equatorial Guinea are taking on each other in the subsequent fixture.

It has been an even encounter so far, no real attacking threat from either sides.

Lassina Traore rises highest to meet a stunning delivery, guiding a clinical header right into the bottom left corner. The keeper was a mere spectator for that one, absolutely no stopping it

Massive moment of drama as Al Gozoli Nooh steps up to the spot, but the Sudan international fails to capitalize.

With the weight of expectation on his shoulders, he strikes the ball low toward the corner, only to watch in agony as it whistles inches wide of the left upright. It’s a huge sigh of relief for the defense as the ball rolls out of play.

Mozamil will be kicking himself after that. He did the hard work by carving out space to meet the delivery, but his final touch lacked the necessary accuracy. The skewed effort never threatened the target, trickling wide of the upright and out of play.

Five minutes will be added on to the clock before the 1st half concludes.

And that's it for the first-half. It was a dominating performance from Burkina Faso but Sudan had their chances as well which they could not convert.

Peep, peep! We are away in the 2nd half.

Sudan need to respond in some way or the other. Can they peg Burkina Faso and score an equaliser?

Action continues to be fought in the middle of the park. Burkina Faso continue to lead the game with a one-goal margin but still long way off.

Georgi Minoungou looked to provide a moment of magic for Burkina Faso, picking up a pass in stride and unleashing a powerful mid-range effort. Though the strike carried plenty of pace, it lacked the necessary accuracy, whistling past the right post.

Sudan have made a couple of changes, they are bringing fresh legs in hopes of finding the equalizer.

That is probably going to be it as Burkina Faso go 2-0 ahead with just 4 minutes added to the clock. The loss won't affect Sudan's round of 16 chances, but they have surely been exposed tonight.
