60 min. :

Tino Kadewere tries his luck from afar, without danger for Dieng who folds on this too axial strike.

Too close to start the meeting, Tinotenda Kadewere returns to the field in place of Dube.



46 min. :

It started once more in Bafoussam, still 0-0 between Senegal and Zimbabwe!

Half time:

It’s very difficult at the Stade de Bafoussam! Embarrassed by strong heat and a very dry lawn, Senegal and Zimbabwe returned to the break with a score of parity (0-0). If the Téranga Lions were dangerous at the start of the meeting, especially through Sadio Mané, the end of this first period seemed more balanced, proof that the Warriors have every chance of winning.


Half time:

Mario Escobar sends the 22 players of the meeting back to the locker room.

44 min. :

Idrissa Gueye kicks her free kick into the Warriors’ box and forces the opposing defense to concede the corner. Played in two stages, Keita Baldé’s corner kick ended with an off-target shot from Ballo-Touré.


43 min. :

Seny Dieng is perfect on this exit in front of Wadi, very restless for ten minutes.


41 min. :

Cheikhou Kouyaté is once once more wrong regarding this transmission. The n ° 8 of the Lions de la Téranga seems embarrassed by the difficult lawn of the Stade de Bafoussam.



39 min. – Occasion for Senegal:

What a counterattack! Sadio Mané takes all the speed defense and enters the opponent’s box. Altruistic, the Senegalese shifts to the right towards a lonely Idrissa Gueye. The Parisian completely loses his control and allows Mhari to recover the leather!


37 min. :

Wadi takes advantage of Kouyaté’s missed raise and tries a shot near the surface. His attempt was countered for a corner, which gave nothing.

Knowledge Musona completely misses his gesture … His shot does not fall quickly enough and ends far from the Senegalese goal.



31 min. – Yellow card for Baldé:

Keita Baldé makes a hand at the entrance to the area and Mario Escobar sanctions him with a yellow card. This is a good opportunity for Zimbabwe!


30 min. :

Thrown into the box, Ishmael Wadi feigns his center once morest Ballo-Touré. The side is impeccable and takes the ball out for a corner.


29 min. :

Under pressure from Boulay Dia, Hadebe conceded the corner. Bouna Sarr misses his cross and Zimbabwe recovers the leather.



27 min. :

Senegal have controlled the ball since the start of the meeting and have 65% possession.



24 min. – Occasion for Senegal:

20 min. :

19 min. :

At twenty-five meters, Ballo-Touré tries a long shot with the left foot, too crossed to worry Mhari.


18 min. :

Fodé Ballo-Touré tries to find Sadio Mané behind at the penalty spot. Hadebe is impeccable and puts his foot in opposition.


17 min. :

Idrissa Gueye tries an outside foot towards Sadio Mané. Warriors defenseman Takwara makes no mistake and intercepts the pass.


15 min. :

Highly requested since the start of the match, Bouna Sarr succeeds in his dribbling in midfield and forces his opponent to make a mistake.


14 min. :

05 min. :

Thrown into the depth by Bouna Sarr, Dia centers back towards Sadio Mané at the entrance to the surface. The Senegalese is too short and fails to frame.
