CAN féminine Maroc 2026 : les Lionnes débutent par une défaite face à l’Algérie
Senegal missed their start to the Women's Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2026. Facing Algeria on the first day of the group, the Lionesses lost 2-0 in Rabat, at the end of a match where they paid dearly for their defensive errors.
However, Mame Moussa Cissé's players had started the match well. Dominating for the first half-hour, they put pressure on the Algerian defense but failed to capitalize on their periods of dominance. Senegal's best chance came in the 28th minute with a header from Mama Diop, well set up by Ndeye Awa Casset.
The game turned just before halftime. Following a poorly executed attack by the Senegalese defense, Korka conceded a penalty, which was converted by Marine Dafeur in the 42nd minute, giving Algeria the lead.
After returning from the locker room, the Lionesses struggled to find their rhythm. Despite the introduction of Sokhna Nogaye Pene Tall, who injected energy into the attack, Senegal failed to equalize. The Senegalese players also felt they were wronged by the refereeing after a foul in the penalty area on the young AS Bambey player went unpunished despite VAR review.
Late in the match, Algeria sealed their victory by scoring a second goal. With this opening defeat, Senegal is already under pressure in a tough group that also includes Morocco and Kenya.
