After its poor performance against DR Congo, Senegal will look to move forward by taking the points at stake against Mauritania.
Four days after its clash against DR Congo, Senegal will try to return to victory this Sunday on Mauritanian soil. A mission that is entirely within his reach, especially since the Mouribatounes are not in a good dynamic at the moment.
Aliou Cissé’s men were deprived of Sadio Mané against Sébastien Desabre’s troops, but they could and probably should have taken the points from Diamniadio if Nicolas Jackson had converted the opportunity he had to secure the break for the locals .
Senegal wants to revive
Senegal, seeking a seventh consecutive home win in World Cup qualifying, had to settle for a Fitson Mayele goal in the 85th minute, which led to another draw.
The Teranga Lions’ results put Senegal in second position, two points behind surprise leaders Sudan, who beat Mauritania 2-0 in Nouakchott.
Cisse’s men have little margin for error if they are to avoid finding themselves in a complicated position in their 2026 World Cup qualifiers, as qualifying approaches its halfway point.
The Teranga Lions are under even more pressure as Sudan are favorites to beat South Sudan in Juba.
