Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Senegal clinched third place at the African Nations Championship (CHAN) 2024 after overcoming Sudan 4-2 on penalties following a 1-1 draw at the Mandela National Stadium in Kampala on Friday.<\/p>\n

The Teranga Lions, denied a place in the final after losing to Morocco on penalties in the semi-finals, showed resilience once more in a tense bronze medal match.<\/p>\n

Victory means Senegal secured a podium finish in back-to-back tournaments, while Sudan\u2019s wait for a third CHAN medal goes on despite a spirited display.<\/p>\n

In front of a lively crowd in Kampala, Sudan looked the sharper of the two sides in the opening stages.<\/p>\n

Their persistence paid off after just six minutes of action when Mohamed Tia Asad rose the highest to power home a header from Abdel Raouf Yagoub\u2019s corner, putting the Falcons of Jediane 1-0 ahead.<\/p>\n

That advantage stood until the break, with Sudan showing defensive discipline and goalkeeper Mohamed Abooja pulling off crucial saves to frustrate the holders.<\/p>\n

Senegal, however, came out stronger after half-time, pushing higher up the pitch and forcing errors.<\/p>\n

Their equaliser came in the 58th minute when Seyni Ndiaye\u2019s precise header found the net, after good work on the flank by Ousseynou Seck.<\/p>\n

From then on, the Lions of Teranga took control of possession, but Sudan continued to threaten on the counter, with Abooja again keeping his side level.<\/p>\n

Neither side could find a winner in regulation time, and with extra-time absent in the third-place play-off, penalties were required.<\/p>\n

Sudan blinked first, with Walieldin Khdir firing his opening kick wide of the target.<\/p>\n

Although Mohamed Ahmed Saeed and Ahmed Tabanja scored, Musab Makeen saw his effort saved by Marc Diouf, handing Senegal the advantage.<\/p>\n

Senegal were flawless from the spot. Joseph Layousse, Issa Kane, Vieux Cisse\u0301, and finally Libasse Gue\u0300ye all converted, giving them a 4-2 shootout victory.<\/p>\n
