At the conclusion of the 16th matchday of Ligue 1 football in Senegal, Jaraaf of Dakar, who had previously held the top spot, maintained their position as solid leaders.
Jaraaf traveled 80 kilometers from their base in Dakar to face Touré Kunda of Mbour and secured a narrow but significant victory with a score of 1-0, courtesy of Ibrahima Diop, the current top scorer in Senegalese Ligue 1 with 12 goals.
This victory propelled Jaraaf to the top of the table with 30 points from 16 matches, comprising 8 wins, 2 losses, and 6 draws.
Close behind, AS Pikine, the runners-up, achieved the biggest victory of the day with a 3-0 win over Etudiants du DUC, while Union Sportive de Ouakam (USO) initially led 2-0 against OL Ngor until incidents marred the match in the 86th minute, leading to its premature end.
Port of Dakar secured a well-managed 1-0 victory over Casa Sport, while Linguère de Saint-Louis avoided the relegation zone with a 2-1 victory over Stade de Mbour. However, Stade de Mbour’s performance raises concerns about their survival in the league.
Suneor de Diourbel and NGB settled for a 1-1 draw, and the final match of the evening between Diambars de Saly and bottom-placed Yeggo ended in a 2-0 victory for Diambars.
Overall, 14 goals were scored during the matchday, with Ibrahima Diop of Jaraaf leading the scoring charts with 12 goals, followed by El Hadji Adama Mbaye of AS Pikine with 8 goals.
