The Young Terrangas of Senegal are the first team to book a quarterfinal ticket at the ongoing U20 Africa Cup of Nations Egypt 2023.

Senegal defeated Mozambique 3-0 in matchday two of Group A games played at the Cairo International Stadium.

Pape Diallo scored at the stroke of halftime and completed his brace in the 85th minute of the game.

Pape Demba had doubled Senegal's lead in the 53rd minute of the game that struggled to attract a crowd.

Senegal, Runners-up in 2015, 2017 and 2019, won their opening game of the campaign, defeating Nigeria 1-0.

With six points, Senegal's last group game will determine whether they top Group A or finish second.

Depending on how the other group members, Nigeria and Egypt perform in their remaining games of Group A.

If Senegal top the group, they will play the third-placed team in Group B or C.

If they finish second, which is not likely, they will play the runnerups in Group B.

If they finish third and are to qualify as two of the best third-placed teams (which is close to impossible), they will face Group C winners.
