World 2026 (Q): Senegal still upset

This Saturday as part of the 5e Day of qualifying for the African zone, the Teranga lions were held in check by the Sudanese (0-0).

A zero and virgin result which leaves the teammates of Sadio Mané in third position of their hen, only, halfway through, two lengths from the crocodiles of the Nile, their adversaries of the evening, and at a point of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

On Tuesday, Senegal will try to relaunch the costs of Togo, neutralized today by Mauritania (2-2). Only the first place of group guarantees a ticket for the 2026 World Cup. The top four seconds – on nine hens – being also invited.
