Senegalese weekend abroad: Abdoulaye Seck scores, Sadio Mané and Habib Diarra decisive

With two days to go before the transfer window closes, Senegalese internationals have been active in the market. In several leagues, many Senegalese players expected to leave haven't featured. However, some, like Abdoulaye Seck, Sadio Mané, and Habib Diarra, have distinguished themselves.

We begin our overview with the French league. Despite being linked with a move away, Lamine Camara started in Monaco's 2-0 victory over Marseille. Paris FC, with Moustapha Mbow on the bench, thrashed Nice, featuring Yehvann Diouf and Antoine Mendy, 3-0. Abdallah Sima, also in the starting lineup, couldn't prevent Lens' 2-1 defeat in Strasbourg, where Pape Demba Diop plays. Le Havre, with captain Rassoul Ndiaye, earned a valuable point in Lyon, where Moussa Niakhaté plays, 1-1. Ibrahim Mbaye, expected to leave the club, did not feature in the 2-2 draw between Lille and PSG.

In England , for Matchday 2, Habib Diarra distinguished himself by providing an assist in Sunderland's 1-0 victory over Fulham. Pape Matar Sarr, who is expected to leave the club, was not in Tottenham's squad for their 2-0 home defeat to Newcastle. The same was true for Ismaïla Sarr, who was absent from Crystal Palace's squad for their 4-1 home loss to Manchester City. Newly arrived at Brentford, El Hadji Malick Diouf watched from the bench as his team drew 1-1 against Leeds. Hull City, with Nobel Mendy in the starting lineup, secured a 1-0 away win against Coventry City.

In Spain , for Matchday 3, Villarreal, with Pape Gueye in the starting lineup, lost to Alavés (1-0). Arouna Sangante was on the bench for his team, Sevilla FC, in their defeat against Atlético de Madrid (1-3). Having just arrived on loan from Chelsea, Mamadou Sarr was also on the bench for Real Sociedad's victory over Espanyol (2-1). Rayo Vallecano, featuring Pathé Ciss, face FC Barcelona this Monday.

In Italy, for the second matchday, Lazio, with Boulaye Dia in the starting lineup, defeated Genoa 1-0. Como, with Assane Diao in the starting eleven, won 2-1 away at Napoli. The young Senegalese striker started the match before being substituted in the 65th minute. Abdoulaye Niakhaté Ndiaye was on the bench during his team Parma's 2-0 defeat against Juventus. Idrissa Gueye came on in the 68th minute and contributed to Udinese's 3-2 victory at Monza.

In Germany, for the first day, Bara Sapoko Ndiaye, who remained on the bench, did not participate in Bayern Munich's big victory against Stuttgart (5-1).

In Turkey , for the 3rd day, Ismaïl Jakobs was in the starting lineup during Galatasaray's victory against Göztepe (3-2).

In Belgium, on matchday 4, Club Brugge, with Mamadou Diakhon in their ranks, lost to Genk (2-1). In an all-Senegalese clash, Union Saint-Gilloise, without Ousseynou Niang, dominated Anderlecht (3-0), with Moussa Ndiaye coming on as a substitute in the 70th minute. Ilay Camara was absent for Anderlecht.

In Saudi Arabia, for Matchday 4, Kalidou Koulibaly's Al-Hilal comfortably defeated Al-Khaleej 5-1. Despite this impressive victory, the Lions' captain conceded a rather comical penalty. Neom, with Malang Sarr in the lineup, lost 1-0 away to Al-Riyadh. Al-Nassr, with Sadio Mané providing the decisive assist, beat Al-Taawoun 2-1. Playing away at Al-Kholood, Édouard Mendy's Al-Ahli suffered a 3-1 defeat. Idrissa Gueye, wearing the captain's armband, led Al-Diriyah to a 3-0 away win against Al-Ettifaq. Starting for Abha, Abdou Diallo was unlucky to score an own goal, precipitating his team's 3-2 defeat against Al-Fayha. Despite a goal from Abdoulaye Seck, Al-Faisaly lost on the pitch of Al-Qadsiah (3-1).
