Senegal U-20 team on Sunday thumped the Gambia U-20 team 2-0 in an international friendly match played at the Jules François Bocande Centre in Touba Dialaw 47 kilometres away from Dakar.
The
international friendly game was part of both countries’ preparations for their
final qualifiers first leg tie next month.
The
Gambia will play against Guinea Conakry in the first leg on 10 July 2016, at
the Independence Stadium in Bakau.
Senegal
will clash with Ghana in the other final qualifiers first leg; winners of the
final qualifiers will join the host nation Zambia in the 2017 African U-20
Youth championship next year.
Senegal opened the scores through Alassana Diouf in the 30th minute of the game from the penalty spot after right-back Hamidou Bojang brought him down inside the eighteen to give the Young Terrenga Lions the lead.
