Senegal Ligue 1 Pro Title Race Heats Up with Two Matches Left
With just two matches remaining in Senegal’s Ligue 1 Pro championship, the battle for the title is as fierce as ever. After Matchday 24 wrapped up this Tuesday, hopes of Jaraaf sealing the championship early have been dashed—at least for now.
The league leaders, Jaraaf, currently top with 45 points, needed a win and a slip-up from second-placed AS Pikine to clinch the title. However, Jaraaf were held to a goalless draw by NGB, while Pikine secured a vital 1-0 victory over Linguère de Saint-Louis.
This result cut Jaraaf’s lead to just two points, with Pikine closing in at 43 points. The title race is wide open, and any slip-up in the final two games could prove costly.
Other notable results on Tuesday highlighted contrasting fortunes. Defending champions Diambars de Saly suffered a heavy 5-1 defeat to Port de Dakar, underlining their struggles this season. Meanwhile, Casa Sports of Ziguinchor continued their impressive form with a commanding 4-0 win over Stades de Mbour, emerging as potential dark horses in the title chase.
With Pikine and Jaraaf vying for top spot and Casa Sports lurking close behind, the final stretch promises plenty of drama.
