Senegal recorded a win at the start of the U17 World Cup, beating Argentina (2-1). It was a hard-fought and somewhat disappointing victory for Serigne Saliou Dia’s protégés. Dominated in the game and lacking control of the ball, they had to rely on their main asset: Amara Diouf. The team’s captain and Génération Foot winger scored twice to propel the Senegalese to victory (6th and 38th).
A handball by Senegalese goalkeeper Serigne Diouf rekindled the suspense at the end of the game (90th+1st), but the Cubs were able to preserve the scoreline and clinch victory. The result sees Senegal join Japan at the top of Group D.Japan, for their part, beat Poland (1-0). On the next day, Senegal face Poland and Argentina take on Japan.
