This Monday, on the second day of the CAN U20 on Monday, the Lion cubs of Senegal underwent a defeat against Ghana (1-0) at the Suez stadium. The reigning champions complicate life in their quest for qualification for the quarterfinals, facing a lack of realism and the intense pressure of the black satellites.
The first period had already placed the lion cubs in a delicate situation. From the fifteenth minute, Mensah seized a defensive flaw by Serigne Fallou Diouf to score the first goal. Senegal, embarrassed by the intense pressing of Ghana, had not found the key to return to the score, despite some attempts by Yaya Dieme and his teammates.
Despite numerous attempts to attack the Ghanaian defense, Senegal failed to break through. The tempo of the party has increased on both sides, however Senegalese initiatives have been too approximate to envisage equalization.
Title holders are now in a precarious situation, with only one out of six possible. Their confrontation to come against the DRC, which currently occupies the first place of the group following its victory against the Central African Republic (1-3), is now crucial. To hope to continue their journey in this CAN U20, it is essential that the lion cubs impose themselves in front of the leopardeaux.
