Senegal strengthened their position in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign with a commanding 4-1 victory over Sudan.

The Lions of Teranga produced a controlled performance and were rewarded for their attacking quality, securing a second consecutive win after opening the campaign with a draw.

Nicolas Jackson gave Senegal the lead before Boulaye Dia added to their advantage. Sudan responded to keep the contest alive, with the sides level at 1-1 at half-time.

Senegal restored their authority after the interval, and young forward Ibrahim Mbaye scored the third goal to put Patrick Vieira’s side back in control. The visitors remained defensively solid and made the most of the important moments as they took a decisive grip on the match.

A fourth goal arrived at the end of regulation time to complete the 4-1 victory, although the scorer was not specified.

The result reflects the collective quality Senegal showed throughout the game and maintains the momentum built since their opening draw. Jackson, Dia and Mbaye were the named scorers whose contributions helped the Lions of Teranga secure another significant result on the African stage.

Senegal now sit top of the group, ahead of the return fixture against Sudan, which will take place in a few days.
