In the ongoing UEMOA Tournament, the defending champions Senegal are facing challenges, having accumulated only 2 points after two matches in Group B. The Lions of Teranga had to settle for draws in both outings, first with Benin and now with Niger.
In their match against Niger, Senegal found themselves trailing after Souleymane Dela Sacko scored in the 15th minute. However, Senegal managed to salvage a draw thanks to Mohamadou Lamine Ndao, who equalized in the 84th minute. The Mena could have secured a more significant lead if Noumaou had been more clinical in front of goal.
Benin, on the other hand, had a convincing 5-0 victory over Guinea Bissau, securing their position at the top of the group. The last group match between Benin and Niger promises to be crucial in determining the final standings.
Current Standings:
- Benin: 4 points (+5 goal difference)
- Niger: 4 points (+1 goal difference)
- Senegal: 2 points
- Guinea Bissau: 0 points (-6 goal difference)
