Two games in Group B of the CHAN 2022 were played on Wednesday, January 18 and the big performance is signed by Uganda which surprised Senegal (0-1) and grabs the first place with 4 points. In the other game, Ivory Coast still can't manage to win a game, conceding a draw to DR Congo (0-0).
Senegal was helpless against Uganda
Dominating is not winning. In a game, you can have possession of the ball, dominate your opponent from start to finish, but this does not guarantee success. Senegal was the proof on Wednesday, January 18 against Uganda. The local Lions confiscated the ball from the "Cranes" with 62% of possession without finding the faultline of a team that produced steadfast defending and a perfect control of its game plan. This defeat (1-0) will certainly put pressure on the players of coach Pape Thiaw. And for good reason, they will have to come out with the big game during their third and last game against DR Congo.
📹 HIGHLIGHTS: 🇸🇳 0-1 🇺🇬

In this game, Senegal had started under good auspices. In the fourth minute of play, Moussa Ndiaye found the crossbar. Cheikh Ibra Diouf (7th), Lamine Camara (15th) and Pape Amadou Diallo (20th) followed but all failed to stop the excellent goalkeeper Alionzi Nafian Legason who will even stop a penalty from Cheikh Tidiane Sidibé (26th). If Senegal wasted its chances, it is not the case for Uganda. A shot on target...a goal. The captain Milton Karisa, the technical leader surprises the defense of Senegal (33rd). This 1-0 was certainly hanging over them, but Senegal will never manage to dismantle it despite its 18 shots, 4 of which were on target and 75 dangerous attacks.
Côte d'Ivoire heads for purgatory
Beaten by Senegal in the opening match (1-0), Côte d'Ivoire had to react against DR Congo. However, the Elephants were not so inspired against the Leopards. They conceded a goalless draw and are now last in Group B. Often in difficulty at the offensive level, this weakness could cost them their competition.
📹 HIGHLIGHTS: 🇨🇮 0-0 🇨🇩
