Senegal lead Comoros at half-time after Ndiaye opener in Marseille

Senegal are 1-0 ahead of Comoros at half-time in their FIFA international meeting in Marseille, with Iliman Ndiaye scoring the opening goal.

Both sides began the match intent on securing victory, and the game quickly developed an energetic, attacking rhythm. Senegal established control through their collective passing, repeatedly using quick combinations to break through the Comoros defensive lines.

Comoros responded with a compact defensive structure that initially contained the Teranga Lions’ technical quality. However, Senegal’s pace in possession eventually created the decisive opening.

A three-man move involving Pape Matar Sarr, Ibrahim Mbaye and Ndiaye ended with the Manchester City forward finishing the move to put Senegal in front.

The intensity dropped after the goal as Senegal concentrated on protecting their lead while looking for opportunities to catch the Comoros defence off guard. No further goals were scored before the interval.
