The Senegal national football team, led by coach Alain Giresse, qualified for the final round of the World Cup qualifiers after defeating Uganda 1-0. The only goal of the match was scored by Sadio Mané in the 84th minute. Despite playing with 10 men since the 37th minute due to a red card, Uganda created more opportunities and posed a challenge for the Senegalese team. However, Senegal secured the victory and advanced to the next stage of the qualifiers.
Former Senegalese professional Mamadou Diallo expressed his views, stating that while he is happy with the victory, the current Senegal team lacks the readiness for the World Cup. He believes that the team should focus on the African Cup before thinking about the World Cup, emphasizing the need for improvements in financial and sporting aspects.
The victory against Uganda secured Senegal’s place in the play-offs for the 2014 World Cup qualifiers.
