After starting the CAN U17 on a good note against Somalia (2-0), the Algerian national team fell this afternoon against Senegal. Indeed, it lost with the score of three goals to nil and will have to wait until the last group match against Congo to hope to qualify. On the other hand, the Cubs of Teranga are the first qualified for the quarter-finals of the tournament.
To return to the face of the match, the young Fennecs will try to exert pressure on the Senegalese woods from the kick-off, but in vain. The efficiency will be rather on the side of the Cubs of Teranga who will manage to open the scoring in the last moments of the first half, signed Amara Diouf 45 + 1′.
On returning from the locker room, we expected a good reaction from the young Algerians. But always without constituting any danger on the opposing woods. The Senegalese will manage to double the bet, still through Amara Diouf on penalty 61 ‘.
We play the 86th minute, Mamadou Savané knock out the Algerians by scoring the third goal. The referee whistled the end of the match on a brilliant victory for the Senegalese with a final score of three goals to nil.
Thus, Senegal is the first team to qualify for the quarter-finals of the tournament. As for Algeria, they will have to wait until the last match against Congo to hope to validate their qualifying ticket.
Remmane: “The physical condition of the Senegalese made the difference”
The U17 national coach, Arezki Remmane, gave his impressions after the match. He says he is disappointed with the defeat against Senegal.
“We faced a very good Senegalese team that needs no introduction. The opposing players have a very good condition and what made the difference in the game this afternoon. It’s a bitter defeat, of course, but we will make sure to rectify the situation during the next match against Congo. We will give everything to win and qualify for the next round. Did he declare.
Note that the Algeria-Congo match will take place on Friday at the Nelson Mandela stadium from 8 p.m.
