Demba Ba missed a crucial opportunity in the match against Angola, and it could have been the turning point. Senegal, playing its third qualifying match in Equatorial Guinea due to the unavailability of its home stadium, had taken the lead with a goal from M.Sow in the 39th minute. However, Angola equalized in the 75th minute through Amaro. The match ended in a 1-1 draw, leaving Senegal’s new coach, Alain Giresse, with regrets, especially considering the missed opportunity by Demba Ba that could have secured a victory for the team.
