The second match of the first day of the 2022 edition of the UFOA/A under-20 tournament saw Senegal sign a big victory this Sunday against Guinea’s national Sily (3-1). The Cubs launch their competition with a success in front of their neighbor.
Malick Daf’s players played against Guinea to win 3-1 on Sunday in their first match of the Union of West African Football Federations tournament. Libasse Ngom opened the scoring ahead of goals from Malick Mbaye and Souleymane Basse.
The first minutes of this meeting were to the advantage of the Senegalese, and that is reflected on the scoreboard. They quickly took control thanks to Libasse Ngom (1-0, 11′). Wonderfully well found, the Senegalese striker confidently puts his shot into the back of the net. The young players of Malick Daf find the necessary resources to make the break. In the 23rd minute of play, after a magnificent rush towards the penalty area, Malick Mbaye alone against the goalkeeper scored the second goal for the Lions.
The Senegalese pull off the perfect shot just minutes from the end of the first period. Souleymane Basse sends his free kick into the top corner, 3 goals to 0 for the Cubs. The Guineans manage to reduce the score before half-time. They tried to come back after the break, but the Senegalese defense was in place.
The Cubs thus won their first match and remained provisionally leaders of group B ahead of Cape Verde, winner of their match against Liberia (2-1). Liberia and Guinea are ranked 3rd and 4th respectively. This UFOA Under-20 Zone A tournament takes place from August 28 to September 11, 2022, in Mauritania. This competition is for the qualifying matches for the next African Cup in this category scheduled for 2023 in Egypt.
