Senegal’s Narrow Escape as Madagascar Secures Top Spot in Group B at African Beach Soccer Championship
Senegal faced a tense moment but managed to keep their hopes alive in the African Beach Soccer Championship. The African champions came perilously close to an early exit after suffering a 5-3 loss to Ghana in their final group match on Thursday.
With the match outcome still hanging in the balance, Senegal’s qualification depended on a Moroccan victory over Madagascar in the other group fixture. However, Madagascar, who had already secured their qualification by the second day of the tournament, proved once again to be the standout team. They thrashed Morocco 8-2, leaving no room for doubt about their dominance.
The results left Madagascar top of Group B with 8 points, while Senegal finished second with 3 points. Ghana and Morocco, both on 3 points, were eliminated, with Senegal advancing to the next round thanks to a superior goal difference.
Senegal’s near miss highlighted the unpredictable nature of the tournament, but they ultimately progressed, while Madagascar’s clinical performance earned them a deserved top spot in the group.
