On December 29, in Group E of the Africa Cup of Nations Round 2, 118th-ranked Sudan shocked 97th-ranked Equatorial Guinea with a 1-0 victory, earning their first win of the tournament.

The match saw a tense moment in the first half: 29-year-old Sudan goalkeeper Abuzayed suddenly appeared dizzy and fell heavily to the ground, lying motionless and alarming fans, reminiscent of the tragic Vivian Fou moment in past Confederation Cups. After urgent medical attention, he regained composure, hydrated, and even splashed water on his head. Remarkably, he refused to leave the field and played the full 90 minutes.

Abuzayed kept a clean sheet, made three crucial saves, and completed five long passes, earning a 6.9 match rating. His heroic performance secured Sudan’s first AFCON victory and handed Equatorial Guinea their second consecutive defeat. In the final round, Sudan will face Burkina Faso, also on 3 points, for a spot in the knockout stage.
