Sudan's Keeper Sparks Alarm Against Equatorial Guinea in AFCON Showdown

Match moments

During Sunday's Africa Cup group-stage clash at Mohammed V Stadium, Sudan's goalkeeper suffered a dizzy spell, prompting medical staff to attend.

He collapsed on the pitch without any contact from an opponent, his teammates signaling for help as the scene paused play.

The substitute keeper Mohammed Abuja began warming up, but the injured starter recovered and insisted on finishing the match.

The teams exchanged chances, but the match remained level as it progressed.

Final result

The goalless draw left Sudan bottom of Group 5 with zero points, while Equatorial Guinea stood third, also without points.

Punchline 1: Even gravity took a day off — apparently the ball didn’t get the memo either.

Punchline 2: If football keeps surprising us like this, we’ll start calling it “Defence and Ailments FC.”
