LIVE. Senegal-Zimbabwe (0-0): the Lions stumble on the Warriors

62 min. :

Kundai Benyu seems hit in the knee and Mario Escobar asks for the intervention of the trainers. The Zimbabwean comes out for a few minutes.


61 min. :

Off center on the right, Bouna Sarr crosses far towards the third post. Keita Baldé fights well to avoid the touch, but misses his cross at the penalty spot towards Sadio Mané.


60 min. :

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


58 min. :

On his left flank, Takudzwa Chimwemwe sent a cross from afar, which finished closer to the Cameroonian sky than to the Senegalese surface.


56 min. :

Sadio Mané goes down to the center of the field to help with the construction. The Senegalese accelerates and gets the fault. It is very difficult for the Lions of Téranga to find solutions in front.


55 min. :

Pape Abou Cisse imposes himself with authority in front of Kadewere and recovers the leather.



53 min. – Yellow card for Hadebe:

Teenage Hadebe makes a mistake in the midfield, Mario Escobar pulls out the yellow!


51 min. :

Sadio Mané takes his time on the right side, but is locked in by the Zimbabwean defense which forces him to come back behind.


51 min. :

Good ball catch from Kadewere in the midfield, which forces Diallo to commit a foul.



49 min. – Used for Senegal:

Bouna Sarr lands his corner on the head of Pape Abou Cisse. The Senegalese giant does not manage to adjust his helmet, what a pity for his selection!



47 min. – Change:

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



46 min. :

It started again 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 again wrong about 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.


36 min. :

Ballo-Touré pushes his ball too far on the left flank and Takwara intercepts. The leather remains in the feet of the Lions of Téranga.


35 min. :

Ishmael Wadi is sought in the opposing rectangle and forces Dieng to come out on his feet. Zimbabwe looks better at the end of the first half!


34 min. :

Sadio Mané asks for a hand in the box but Mario Escobar does not flinch. Six yards for the Warriors.


32 min. :

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 against 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:

Sadio Mané accelerates on the left side and gets rid of two defenders to enter the box. The Reds winger crushes his shot too much against Mhari and the Zimbabwean goalkeeper lies on the ball. First big alert of the meeting!


22 min. :

In the box, Bouna Sarr tries to strike with his left foot to surprise Mhari. His shot ends up off target, the Warriors goalkeeper will be able to free himself.


20 min. :

Knowledge Musona also tries herself from afar. His strike flees the frame, six meters for Dieng.


19 min. :

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


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. :

Kundai Benyu is put under pressure by Kouyaté and gets the fault. Zimbabwe will be able to leave.


13 min. :

Boulaye Dia tries to get back on his right foot in the rectangle but Hadebe has anticipated everything and clears his camp.


12 min. :

Sadio Mané sneaks into the Zimbabwean midfield and serves Keita Baldé at the entrance to the box. The former Monegasque did not adjust his shot well, which ended well above the crossbar.


11 min. :

Ballo-Touré misses his deep pass to Keita Baldé, six meters for the Warriors!


09 min. :

Senegal retains full control of the ball in this start of the match. Zimbabwe is struggling to come out of its camp cleanly.


07 min. :

What an admission of helplessness … Musona is lonely in counterattack and tries a very distant strike that ends far from the Senegalese goal.


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.


04 min. :

Sadio Mané touches his first ball in the box and tries to hook Takwara. The Zimbabwean does not let himself be taken and wins his first duel.


02 min. :

Bouna Sarr offers the first opportunity of the meeting from afar. His cross strike barely misses!
