Tournoi UFOA/A U20 : Le Sénégal termine sur une bonne note
Eliminated from qualifying for the U20 Africa Cup of Nations, Senegal nevertheless managed to finish the WAFU Zone A tournament on a positive note. The Young Lions secured third place by defeating Sierra Leone (2-2, 6-5 on penalties).
Determined to finish the competition on a high note, Malick Daf's men opened the scoring in the 33rd minute through Papé Alioune Ndiaye, who netted a fine goal. But Sierra Leone managed to equalize just before halftime, following an error by Senegalese goalkeeper Abdoulaye Guèye (45th minute).
Upon returning from the locker room, Sierra Leone regained the lead in the 46th minute by beating Baye Galaye Dieng, who replaced Abdoulaye Guèye in goal, with a low shot.
Trailing in the scoreline, the Young Lions responded thanks to their central defender Mouhamed Junior Ba. Having moved forward, he leveled the score with a fine header in the 61st minute.
Despite several attempts, neither team managed to break the deadlock during regulation time (2-2).
A penalty shootout was therefore necessary to decide the match. In this exercise, Senegal proved more effective, winning 6-5, thanks in particular to three decisive saves by Baye Galaye Dieng.
The Young Lions thus finish the tournament on an encouraging note despite their failure in the race for the U20 AFCON.

J'espère qu'on pouvait avoir une sélection mieux que ça. De toute façon le cumul de poste d'entraîneur a beaucoup de limites et il faut faire confiance aux autres coach aussi. Seul le travail paye.
