After registering the comprehensive victory in their campaign opener, Sadio Mane’s Senegal will face Naby Keita’s Guinea in the second group stage fixture.
In their curtain-raiser, Senegal won 1-0 against Zimbabwe. However, the win was not comprehensive. Senegal had the majority of the possession but failed to break the resilient Zimbabwe defense. However, Senegal registered a penalty in the final minute to take home all points.
On the other hand, Guinea broke their poor streak against Malawi with a 1-0 win in the first game. Issiaga Sylla, the left-back, was on the scoresheet for his team.
