Senegal thrashed hosts Algeria to book the first slot in the ongoing U-17 Africa Cup of Nations.
It seems Senegal’s dominance in African football is not about to end as their Teranga Cubs thrashed hosts Algeria to book the first slot in 2023 U-17 Africa Cup of Nations.
The Teranga Cubs saw off Congo 1-0 through Fallou Diouf’s goal in the first match before sealing their slot on Tuesday in emphatic fashion.
Captain Amara Diouf led by example, scoring a brace in either half as substitute Mamdou Sawane closed business with Seengal’s third in the 85th minute.

The rules state that if a participating team has four or more ineligible players, they will be disqualified.
The West Africans lead Group A with an assailable six points after two games leaving the Algerians, Congo and Somalia to fight for the other slot and, possibly, a best third-placed team spot.
The Somalians -the only CECAFA representatives after South Sudan was disqualified- made history for themselves by picking their first-ever point in a 1-all draw against Congo.
Senegal is the reigning African champion for the senior team, Under-20 and CHAN.
