Sudan is the only team in AFCON history to qualify without scoring a single goal

The matchups for the Africa Cup of Nations Round of 16 have been determined, with Sudan advancing as the best third-placed team in their group, despite failing to score a single goal in the group stage.

Sudan became the first team in history to advance to the knockout stage without scoring a goal, and they will face Senegal in the Round of 16.

In the group stage, Sudan lost 0-3 to Algeria in the first round, then defeated Equatorial Guinea 1-0 (due to an own goal), and lost 0-2 to Burkina Faso in the third round. Ultimately, Sudan finished third in the group and advanced based on their head-to-head record.
