Dakar, Jan 10 (APS) – The program for the 11th day of the Senegal Football League 1 provides a tempting menu, with the duel between US Gorée, the championship leader, and Teungueth FC, the reigning champion.
The derby between Guédiawaye FC and AS Pikine, one of the most anticipated events of the day, was postponed at the request of the administrative authorities, we learned from Pape Momar Lo, the vice-president of the Senegalese professional football league, responsible for competitions.
The Gorée players, uncompromising since the start of the season, are determined to string together a third victory in a row to maintain first place.
The islanders will, however, have a lot to contend with with Teungueth FC, even if the Rufisque club, the reigning champion, is struggling to regain its dynamism from last year.
The Rufisquois club must react against Gorée, at the risk of being dropped by the leading pack. He is counting on his meeting with US Gorée and the late match to be played against Jaraaf of Dakar, for the previous day.
This meeting was postponed due to Jaraaf’s participation in the African Football Confederation Cup.
The derby between AS Pikine and Guédiawaye FC promises to be electric due to the importance of this meeting for the rest of the season and the rivalry maintained by the two teams.
The postponement of this match postpones to another day a traditionally hotly contested confrontation between two teams representing twin municipalities, whose sporting rivalry extends into several sporting disciplines. Their confrontation on Sunday was highly anticipated for the rest of the championship.
Guédiawaye FC, ninth in the standings, was counting on this match to achieve a second success in a row against its rival and neighbor, at the Alassane-Djigo stadium, after its victory the previous day.
The Pikine club, 11th in the ranking, was hoping for a positive result in front of its home crowd, after the setback it suffered last week in Ziguinchor, during the 10th day.
Generally speaking, time is running out for AS Pikine, in bad shape since the start of the season, despite XXL recruitment, which must rectify the situation very quickly and definitively launch its season while there is still time.
Here is the program for the 11th day of Ligue 1:
Dakar Sacré-coeur – Linguère, Saturday at 4:30 p.m., at the Yoff municipal stadium;
