For its second outing at the U20 World Cup, Senegal settled for a draw against Israel (1-1). The young guard of the Lions of Teranga came close to elimination by conceding the opening goal by their own defender Babacar Ndiaye (58th). After a long domination, Pape Demba Diop (80th) managed to open his counter in this competition on a cross from Mamadou Gning.
This draw allows Senegal to win its first point in this U20 World Cup in group C while waiting to know the result of the confrontation between Colombia and Japan. The boys of Malick Daf will have to play their all during the third day against Colombia to believe in a possible qualification.
