A faultless journey in the group phase
Placed in group C, the Senegalese began their global campaign by facing Spain on May 2. They won this inaugural match with a convincing victory of 4-1. On May 4, they faced Tahiti and, despite a difficult start to the match, knew how to overthrow the situation to win 6-3. Finally, on May 6, Senegal confirmed its domination by beating Chile 6-3, finishing at the top of its group with three victories in as many games.
A quarter -final year of revenge
In the quarterfinals, Senegal will face Italy, a team that finished second in its group behind Brazil. The two teams have already met in friendly recently, with a 4-2 Senegalese victory. However, in official competition, Italy has often had the upper hand, especially during the quarterfinals of the 2017 world Cup where it won 5-1. This match will therefore be an opportunity for the Lions to take their revenge and continue their quest for the world title.
-Objective: the top of the world
Under the direction of coach Oumar Ngalla Sylla, the beach lions showed exemplary cohesion and determination. With experienced players like Captain Al-Seyni Ndiaye, Senegal has all the cards in hand to target the summit. A victory against Italy would propel them into the semi-finals, where they could face Portugal or Japan.
The meeting is therefore set for this Thursday, May 8 at 3:00 p.m. GMT. Senegalese supporters hope to see their team continue on this momentum and write a new glorious page in their history in this beach football world cup that has so far escaped them.
