Decisive matches are underway at the U-20 African Cup of Nations in Egypt. We would like to remind you that Dynamo Kyiv winger Samba Diallo, who defends the colors of his native Senegal, is taking part in the tournament.
The Senegalese national team, having won first place in their group thanks to victories over Nigeria (1: 0), Mozambique (3: 0) and Egypt (4: 0), reached the quarterfinals, where they defeated Benin (1: 0). By the way, reaching the four best teams on the continent has already earned the Senegalese a ticket to the final of the U-20 World Cup, which will take place in Indonesia.
In the semifinal match, the Senegalese Lions of Teranga met Tunisia. Very quickly, Senegal secured a two-goal handicap thanks to goals by Pape Diop in the 7th and Lamin Kamara in the 17th minutes. At the beginning of the second half, Kamara scored a double, making the score crushing. The result was 3-0 until the final whistle.
Diallo came into the starting lineup in his usual position on the left wing of the attack and played 70 minutes.
In the final of the continental championship, which will take place on Saturday, March 11, Senegal will compete for the title with the winner of the semifinal pair Nigeria - Gambia.
