Senegal continues to impress in this 2023 edition of CAN U20.

In the semi-final, the Cubs made short work of Tunisia (3-0) thanks to a goal from Pape Demba Diop and a double from Lamine Camara (17th, 52nd).

A victory that confirms the strength of the Senegalese, untenable since the start of the tournament.

Malick Daff's men, with a fiery attack (12 goals), an iron defense (no goals conceded) and a midfielder as hard-working as they are playful, crush everything in their path.

Reinforced by four recent CHAN winners with the Senegal A' team and four expatriates, the Lionceaux team, which has never won the title, despite three finals in the last four editions, can dream of the coronation this time.

He still has one match to win against the winner of the second semi-final between Nigeria and Gambia to finally do like the greats, crowned a little over a year ago at CAN 2022.

A DREAM START!🥳
