SEN vs EGU Dream11: Aliou Cisse’s Senegal edged out Cape Verde 2-0 in the Round of 16. A magnificent finish from Sadio Mane gave them the edge against their nine-man opponents before Bamba Dieng put the finishing touches on in second-half stoppage-time. It could be argued that Senegal are the biggest underperformers in African history. They have never won it and only reached the final in 2002 and 2019. 2002 was another Senegalese golden generation as they also reached the quarter-finals of the FIFA World Cup that year. They will be hoping to emulate that side later on this year in Qatar, should they qualify.
