Ten-man Madagascar produced a dramatic extra-time winner to beat Sudan IO in Dar es Salaam and book their place in their first ever African Nations Championship (CHAN) final.

The Barea, who finished third in their only previous appearance three years ago, will face Morocco who edged Senegal 5-3 on penalties after the two sides drew l-lat the Nelson Mandela National Stadium in Kampala.

Madagascar had a better start when they dominated possession before a sparse Benjamin Mkapa Stadium crowd and created two early chances but the first half ended goalless.

Sudan, appearing in their third semifinal after near-misses in 2011 and 2018, had the better chances in the second half with Walieldin Khidir missing a gilt-edged header in the 53rd minute.
