Sénégal vs Kenya (8-0) : Les tops et les flops

After their 2-0 defeat against Brazil, Senegal bounced back with a resounding 8-0 victory over Kenya. While the match didn't offer many key takeaways, it did allow some players to shine. Here are the highs and lows of the game.

The tops

Ibrahim Mbaye

Two assists, a goal, a penalty won, and boundless energy: the Parisian youth academy graduate delivered a masterclass in his first start for the Lions of Teranga. On the right flank, Mbaye was unstoppable, constantly offering opportunities, making runs, and tracking back defensively. He may have just secured his place in the 26-man squad for the Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.

Nicolas Jackson

The Bayern striker shone today where he often excels: efficiency. He opened the scoring early in the game with a beautiful goal. His runs, his runs, and his finish were all on point.

Sadio Mané

The Lions' all-time leading scorer, Sadio Mané, further improved his statistics. Active and available, he was rewarded with three goals. This is his first hat trick for the national team since June 4, 2022, during the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

The flop

Adversity

Against Senegal, Kenya displayed a vulnerability and fragility rarely seen in top-level football. Unfortunately, this match won't provide any significant lessons, which is precisely what the Senegalese team needs to correct and rectify its shortcomings a month before the Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.
