Senegal is gaining momentum. So far a little bland, Aliou Cissé’s team reassured themselves by beating Equatorial Guinea 3-1 in the quarter-finals of the African Cup of Nations. The Senegalese join Burkina Faso, victorious over Tunisia.
Well hung, the “Teranga Lions” imposed their superiority, by Cheikhou Kouyaté (68th) and Ismaïla Sarr (78th), both off the bench at the Omnisports Amadou Ahidjo stadium. What satisfy the Senegalese coach.
Cissé evokes the case of Ismaïla Sarr
“We had a great first half, then we had the mentality to stay in the game and score those second and third goals,” Cissé said after the match. Now we have to recover before another fight against Burkina Faso. Ismaila Sarr? I insisted a lot that he be part of this group, we have been fighting for two months against Watford. He worked, he came back well, but I’m not sure he’s already capable of starting in a match. We will take it little by little, as we did today. »
