The Shock Group C match between Senegal and Cameroon, held at the Stade Charles-Konan-Banny in Yamoussoukro (20,000 seats) for the second day of the group stages of the CAN, saw the Lions of Terenga beating their indomitable counterparts with a score of 3-1.
Ismaila Sarr from Marseille and Al-Shabab striker Habib Diallo (71′) scored the Senegalese win with two goals, while the Nantes defender restored some honour for Cameroon (83′). Finally, Sadio Mané sealed the victory with a third goal.
Despite being without their captain Vincent Aboubakar, who remains sidelined due to injury since their victory against Brazil (1-0) in the 2022 World Cup, Cameroon struggled to regain momentum. Their incapacity to bounce back was evident against Senegal, who had previously beaten them 1-0 in a friendly match in October 2023.
Senegal showcased exceptional control in their second match of the tournament, solidifying their status as a formidable opponent.
