After the first two rounds of competition in the group stage, the Ecuador team and the Netherlands team have 4 points, ranking the top two in Group A.
Senegal scored 1 win and 1 loss, ranking third with 3 points.
It is clear that the three teams will compete for two qualifying places, but for the Ecuador and Netherlands teams with points advantage, they are only one tie away from the knockout round.
However, the Senegal team obviously cannot accept a draw. They want to achieve overtaking and win the group qualifying places, and the only way to beat the Ecuador team is the "Huashan Road".
In the absence of the number one star Mane, it is not easy for the new African Cup champions to win. The team is the "weapon" they rely on.
After the start of the game, it was self-evident that Senegal, which formed a "4231" formation, was trying their best to win. The Ecuador team fell into a self-entanglement of "keeping the tie" or "fighting for victory", and fell into a passive situation on the scene.
In the 8th minute, Senegal made a long pass from the backcourt. Sabali got the ball and penetrated with a short pass. Dia faced the goalkeeper and shot wide of the post to waste the opportunity.
