As part of the play-offs for the Brazil 2014 World Cup, Senegal is set to face Ivory Coast, a match reminiscent of their encounter in the CAN 2013 qualifiers. The first leg of this playoff promises to be a thrilling clash, with the return match scheduled for November.
Expressing his determination, striker Modou Sougou states, “The goal is to achieve a good result at home to hope to qualify for the World Cup. Senegal is an internationally recognized football nation. It would be good for our country to go to the World Cup,” as reported by Le Dauphiné.
In their previous meeting during the African Cup of Nations qualifiers, Ivory Coast emerged victorious with a 4-2 win over Senegal. The upcoming play-offs provide an opportunity for Senegal to seek redemption and secure a spot in the prestigious World Cup.
