Faced with a Congolese team in place, the Lion cubs of Senegal took the advantage at half-time thanks to a goal from Sheikh Tidiane Thiam on a penalty.
At the end of the first 45 minutes, Senegal leads 1-0 against the Democratic Republic of Congo. The only goal is signed Cheikh Tidiane Thiam, author of a penalty transformed in the 11th minute. After seeing his first attempt pushed by the Congolese goalkeeper, the Senegalese midfielder followed well to conclude in two stages. The lion cubs dominate slightly in the game, with good mastery in the midfield.
However, despite this grip, the frank opportunities are rare. The Senegalese are struggling to be truly dangerous in the last 30 meters. Opposite, the DRC tried to react with a rapid counterattack, but Lansana Traoré, vigilant, perfectly covered the depth to prevent equalization. At this stage of the match, this score would allow Senegal to qualify for the quarter -finals. But nothing has yet been played.
