Le jeu et les joueurs : Ibrahim Mbaye et Lamine Camara dans le tempo, Abdoulaye Seck solide
Three days after defeating Peru (2-0), Senegal hosted Gambia on Tuesday for their final match of the March international window. The Lions secured a 3-1 victory. With a completely revamped starting eleven compared to the Peruvian game, Senegal showed promise, particularly thanks to Ibrahim Mbaye, who made a remarkable entrance. Abdoulaye Seck and Lamine Camara, who scored the first and third goals respectively, delivered strong performances.
Yehvann Diouf: 5/10
In his second start for the national team, Yehvann Diouf quickly distinguished himself with a fine save on a clear Gambian chance (19th minute). Despite good distribution with his feet, he made a mistake that almost allowed Yankuba Minteh to capitalize (44th minute). In the second half, he completely misjudged Oumar Colley's goal (51st minute). In the 67th minute, he made a crucial save with a fine fingertip stop on a Gambian shot. Despite a good start to the match, his error on the opposing goal somewhat marred his performance.
Krépin Diatta: 5/10
On the right flank, he quickly found his footing, making numerous attacking runs. Very incisive, he provided a good opportunity for Chérif Ndiaye with a cross. Involved in the attacking play, he played with seriousness and desire, though without managing to be decisive. He was replaced in the 46th minute by Antoine Mendy, who held firm defensively throughout the second half.
Mamadou Sarr: 7/10
In a three-man defense deployed at the start of the match by the coach, Mamadou Sarr encountered some difficulties, particularly with his defensive positioning. However, with the readjustment of the defensive line, he regained his composure and composure. Very clean in his distribution, he tried to create an overload in midfield. As in his previous appearances, the 20-year-old defender delivered a convincing performance.
Abdoulaye Seck: 7/10
Starting as captain, Abdoulaye Seck had some difficulty getting into the game. However, in the 35th minute, he came close to opening the scoring with a free kick from El Hadji Malick Diouf, which rebounded off the post. He was more fortunate in first-half stoppage time (45+5), heading home a corner from the same Diouf to open the scoring. Repositioned in the center of defense after Nobel Mendy's substitution, he used his strength to his advantage in duels. A complete performance from the former Casa Sports and Stade de Mbour defender.
Nobel Mendy: 3/10
In his first appearance for the national team, Nobel Mendy started the match tentatively. However, the Villarreal defender quickly found his rhythm, making a powerful recovery to deny Minteh a shot on goal against Yehvann Diouf (21st minute). Unfortunately injured, he was substituted shortly before halftime (40th minute), replaced by Lamine Camara.
The latter, highly technical and creative, tried to inject some dynamism into the midfield, combining well with Habib Diarra. In the 73rd minute, his well-taken free kick nearly caught the Gambian goalkeeper off guard. He was rewarded for his efforts by scoring the third goal in stoppage time (90+5). A solid performance from the AS Monaco midfielder.
El Hadji Malick Diouf: 7/10
Deployed as a left wing-back, the West Ham player started the match well, showing his attacking prowess down his flank. Following Nobel Mendy's injury, he dropped back to occupy the left-back position.
With his left foot, he provided the assist for Abdoulaye Seck's opening goal from a perfectly executed corner (45+5). Defensively, he made several crucial interceptions to relieve pressure on his back line. A solid performance from the 21-year-old defender.
Pathé Ciss: 5/10
Playing as a defensive midfielder, Pathé Ciss had a difficult start to the match against the dynamism of Minteh and Abdoulie Mannéh. He struggled in the build-up play, misplacing several forward passes. Despite his tireless work rate, commitment, and aggression, he found it challenging in midfield against the pace of the Gambian midfielders. He was replaced by Idrissa Gana Guèye (85th minute), who earned his 129th cap.
Habib Diarra: 6/10
In his role as playmaker, he was very active in midfield, getting on the ball frequently. Always looking to attack, he tried to lead the attacks and provide service to the forwards. Dynamic and incisive, he initiated several attacking moves to break down the Gambian defense. However, the Sunderland player lacked the finishing touch in this match. He was replaced by Habib Diallo (84th minute).
Ismaïla Sarr: 7/10
He created the first opportunity in the 6th minute from a Cherif Ndiaye cross, but failed to convert. In the 9th minute, in a good position, he was again denied by the Gambian goalkeeper, once more from a Ndiaye cross. Dynamic and incisive on his left wing, he launched numerous attacking initiatives to trouble the opposing defense. In the second half, he proved decisive, providing an assist for Ibrahim Mbaye's third goal (47th minute). He was replaced by Mamadou Diakhon (64th minute), who showed glimpses of his attacking prowess in his first international appearance.
Cherif Ndiaye: 5/10
Playing up front, Cherif Ndiaye was very active in attack. With his back to goal, he created two excellent opportunities for Ismaïla Sarr. Working tirelessly, he dropped deep several times to combine with Assane Diao. He was replaced by Bamba Dieng (46th minute) who, with his first touch, made a decisive contribution by perfectly setting up Ismaïla Sarr for Ibrahim Mbaye's goal (47th minute).
Assane Diao: 4/10
Starting on the left wing, Assane Diao attempted several runs down the flank without success. A little subdued, he lacked spontaneity in his actions, notably failing to capitalize on a chance created by Cherif Ndiaye. In the 15th minute, he looked more incisive on a through ball from Ndiaye, but his shot crashed against the post. He was replaced by Ibrahim Mbaye (46th minute), who scored with his second touch after a pass from Ismaïla Sarr (47th minute). The young Paris Saint-Germain striker even came close to scoring a brace, but his attempt went wide (58th minute). Another remarkable performance from the Senegalese prodigy who, after an assist against Peru, scored his third international goal.
