The 16th round of the Senegalese Ligue 1 wrapped up on Sunday with a series of surprising results, highlighted by Guédiawaye FC’s narrow 1-0 victory over Jaraaf of Dakar and AS Douanes’ dominant 3-0 win over league leaders NGB.
The day began with a shock defeat for Casa Sport, who fell 2-0 to Mbour Stadium. Diambars also earned an important win, edging Ouakam 2-1, while Mbour Petite Côte triumphed 2-1 over Suneor. Linguère de Saint-Louis were similarly impressive, securing a 2-1 victory over AS Pikine.
However, the most significant result came late in the day, with AS Douanes delivering a heavy 3-0 defeat to NGB, the league leaders. This loss, combined with a crucial victory for Diambars, has narrowed the gap at the top of the standings.
In a highly prolific day of football, 17 goals were scored across the eight fixtures, a stark contrast to the 15th round, where only 6 goals were netted. This high-scoring affair highlights the unpredictability of Senegalese football this season.
