After losing 1-0 to Egypt last Friday, Senegal managed to score an early goal from a terrible mistake from the Egyptian side.

After a free kick Egypt’s Trezeguet ended up losing possession allowing Sengal’s Boulaye Dia to pick up the ball before slotting it into the back of the net with just three minutes on the clock.

The first half was intense and Senegal succeeded in controlling the tempo of the game while Egypt hasn’t created chances to score.

Both sides have to score in order to avoid the tension of a penalty shoot-out.
