HERE WE GO AGAIN !
We left for the last 45 minutes of these two play-offs Senegal 1-0 Egypt and Nigeria 1-1 Ghana!
IT’S THE BREAK !
Senegal leads 1-0 once morest Egypt and we are currently heading for an extension. The Teranga Lions scored from the start of the match and never released the grip. Salah is invisible tonight.
In the other play-off, Nigeria and Ghana draw 1-1 but this current score qualifies the Black Stars. Osimhen’s teammates will have to score to play the 2022 World Cup!
ASHOUR’S RESCUE! (SEN 1-0 EGY)
Overflow of Bouna Sarr who deposits his opposite! He crosses at the far post towards Sarr who can conclude but Ashour clears for a corner just in time!
Yellow card for Gueye (SEN 1-0 EGY)
PSG midfielder Gana Gueye takes a yellow card following a very late sole! Nothing to say, it makes sense.
Another Senegalese incursion (SEN 1-0 EGY)
Rabia is also injured, Achour replaces him! It’s a cursed evening for Egypt and Senegal is trying to take advantage of it! Mané overflows and crosses back towards Gueye who does not put enough force in his shot!
OSIMHEEEEEN’S BUUUUT… REFUSED! (NIG 1-1 GHA)
He had to be the savior of Nigeria! Victor Osimhen virtually qualifies his nation following a counter goal! He is thrown deep, dribbled the goalkeeper and scored in the empty goal…. But he was offside, the goal was disallowed!
Sarr attempts a subtle strike (SEN 1-0 EGY)
At the entrance to the surface, Ismaila Sarr tries a slightly lobed shot but it is just not enough! El Shenawy grabs the ball!
Ashraf entre en jeu (SEN 1-0 EGY)
Another bad news for Egypt who lost Gaber to injury! He is replaced immediately by Ashraf for the rest of the game.
EL SHENAWYY FOR THE STOP! (SEN 1-0 EGY)
Big floating strike from Gana Gueye which forces El Shenawyy to a disaster stop! We were not far from 2-0!
Nigerian pressure intensifies (NIG 1-1 GHA)
Free kick very well placed for Nigeria but it is returned by the Ghanaian wall! For the moment, it holds for the Black Stars!
Cissé can’t find the frame (SEN 1-0 EGY)
The pressure is still Senegalese with a corner shot by Mané! He finds Cissé at the far post but his header goes over!
NIGERIA REACTS ON PENALTY (NIG 1-1 GHA)
Video arbitration for a potential penalty in favor of Nigeria! The penalty is whistled for Osimhen’s teammates! Troost-Ekong takes charge of the penalty and scores it! 1 to 1!
Lots of stoppages (SEN 1-0 EGY)
This Senegal-Egypt is chopped up by many stoppages. Each fault, each contact offers us gatherings of players… It never ends!
Ghana in a very favorable tie (NIG 0-1 GHA)
Thanks to the goal of Thomas Partey, Ghana finds itself qualified for the next World Cup. Nigeria must score twice to pass!
El Shenawyy hit by a bottle (SEN 1-0 EGY)
After catching a ball in the air, El Shenawwy is hit by a water bottle thrown by a supporter! The game resumes following a few minutes!
THE GHANA BUUUUUT! (NIG 0-1 GHA)
Ghana opener! Partey sends a big deflected shot low to the ground and the goalkeeper commits a small ball… with big consequences! 1 to 0 for Ghana!
Queiroz and Cissé warm up (SEN 1-0 EGY)
The match got off to a damn good start with an altercation between two players before the coaches got involved! The referees must separate them.
OPENING OF THE SCORE FOR SENEGAL!
It’s incredible ! Already a goal for Senegal following a badly repelled free kick from Mané! Boulaye Dia throws himself and concludes in front of El-Shenawyy! 1 to 0 for the Teranga Lions!
The referee will be put to the test
First big contact between Ciss and Rabia and the Senegalese immediately ask for a card. The caregivers are already involved!
SENEGAL-EGYPT AND NIGERIA-GHANA KICK OFF!
And let’s go for these return play-offs to qualify directly for the 2022 World Cup! On the program two matches between Senegal-Egypt and Nigeria-Ghana!
The whistled Egyptian anthem
We expected it a little, the Egyptian anthem is copiously whistled by the Senegalese public. We don’t even hear the music anymore, that’s to say…
Sadio Mané is there with Gueye and Koulibaly
The composition of Senegal: E. Mendy – Y. Sabaly, K. Koulibaly, PA Cissé, S. Ciss – G. Gueye, N. Mendy – B. Sarr, S. Mané, I. Sarr – B. Dia.
