Sudan head coach Burhan Tia believes Nigeria and Egypt have what it takes to make it to the final at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon.
The Super Eagles have been the most impressive team in the competition so far with three wins from their three group games.
Egypt on the other hand are also through to the Round of 16 after securing a narrow 1-0 win against the Falcons of Jediane on Wednesday night.
After suffering two defeats against Egypt and Nigeria, Tia stated that both teams are very good, and they can go as far as the tournament’s finale.
“Egypt and Nigeria are very good teams, they both did a great job in the group stage,” Tia told a press conference on Wednesday night.
“The two teams can go as far as the Africa Cup of Nation’s final, we did everything we could against them, but in the end, the result wasn’t great.
“We played a good game against Egypt, but we made a number of individual mistakes, we will improve and we will try to correct our mistakes in the next few months,” he said.
