Madagascar will take on Sudan at Benjamin Mkapa Stadium in the African Nations Championship on Tuesday. The two teams are set to open the semi-final phase of the tournament.

Madagascar vs Sudan Preview

Madagascar pulled off a shock win against one of the tournament’s host nations, Kenya, where the final game will be played. Pundits never gave the Islanders any chance of prevailing over Kenya, who opened the scoring by the 48th minute. Madagascar pulled level by the 69th minute and forced the clash into a penalty shootout, which they won 4-3.

Barea are appearing in this competition for the second time. In their debut participation in 2022, they took many by surprise after they finished in third place. Are they hoping to replicate that success or even go further? Madagascar finished second in their group with seven points to progress to the knockout stage.

Sudan also sent shock waves across the tournament when they dumped out Algeria. Although it was a difficult game and both sides fought hard until the end. Centre-back Ayoub Ghezala’s own goal gifted Sudan the opener in the 48th minute, but Algeria pulled level in the 73rd minute, with the game ending 1-1 at fulltime. Sudan won on penalties 4-2.

Falcons of Jediane are in their fifth participation. They are yet to win the title but have finished in third place twice in 2011 and 2018. The win against Algeria will certainly boost their confidence level, but it will be the same for Madagascar, who ousted a host nation.
