Sudan condemned Equatorial Guinea against the odds on Sunday and kept their hopes very much alive with a 1-0 win.
They're level on three points apiece with the Burkinabe, which means that this is a tantalising straight shoot-out for second spot.
In the event of a draw, Burkina Faso's superior goal difference would take them through. With four points, Sudan might still have a chance of joining them.
Read on as FourFourTwo brings you all the information on how to watch Sudan vs Burkina Faso online, on TV, and from anywhere.

Sudan vs Burkina Faso: Preview
The runners-up of Group E will face the winning team from Group F, meaning a clash with Ivory Coast, Cameroon or possibly Mozambique in Marrakech in the round of 16.
Sudan haven't progressed beyond the group stage of the Africa Cup of Nations since 2012, when they defeated Burkina Faso in their last group stage match to book a place in the quarter-finals.
Mudather Karika scored both goals in a 2-0 win to secure second place in the group. Sudan were beaten by eventual winners Zambia in the next round.
Burkina Faso lost all three of their matches in that group but dramatically defeated Equatorial Guinea in their first game at AFCON 2025.
The Stallions have fallen short of the knock-out rounds only twice since 2012, losing twice in 2015 and failing to qualify in 2019.
They reached the final in 2013 and the semi-finals in both 2017 and 2021, marking them out as a team expected to get out of the groups in a 24-team tournament.
If they're to finish second in the group, they might have to find their shooting boots.
Burkina Faso are yet to score earlier than the 95th minute and they seldom looked like changing it against Algeria.
FourFourTwo's prediction
Sudan 1-1 Burkina Faso
Neither team scored in their games against Algeria and both made heavy work of scoring against Equatorial Guinea. We're backing Burkina Faso to secure second but they'll have to score to do it.
