Egypt have reached the knockouts of AFCON 2021 after they eased past Sudan in their Group D final match.

Carlos Queiroz’s side will now face the winners of Group E in their round of 16 match.

Mohamed Abdelmonem scored a goal in the first-half of the game and that proved sufficient to deliver them victory at the Ahmadou Ahidjo Stadium.

The defender put his side ahead in the 35th minute by heading home Abdallah El Said’s corner.

The Falcons of Jediane didn’t offer a lot of resistance and looked more likely to concede than score goals.
