GOAAAAAAAAAAAAL by Senegaaaal! To give them more peace of mind, a goal against Togo from a free kick taken from the right flank, a bad save by the visiting goalkeeper and between the heads of both teams the ball goes into the goal.

The last 45 minutes start at the Stade Me Abdoulaye Wade in Senegal's partial victory at home against Togo.

Senegal 1-0 Togo                  

A minute of extra time was played at the Stade Me Abdoulaye Wade where the Senegal team partially wins against a Togo team that does not prove to be a dangerous opponent for the visitors.

Senegal 1-0 Togo

The Togo team did not seem to have the necessary merits to tie the match. After the aforementioned play in the first minutes of the match, the visitors did not come close to the Senegalese goal again, at least not dangerously.

GOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL by Senegaaaal! Midfielder Pape Sarr opens the scoring in a fairly even match after Habib Diallo recovers the ball after a bad defensive start by Togo, dribbles from one side to the other and serves it to Pape Sarr who crosses the ball with his right foot.

Senegal 1-0 Togo

Few novelties in a fairly close match with two tactically similar teams. We must not forget that in the history between the two teams, the most common result has been a draw, this match has always been difficult.

Despite the fact that the Senegalese team has the most possession of the ball, Togo is looking a little better in front of goal, as at least so far they have one shot on goal; Senegal is getting closer to the opponent's area but they are not shooting.

Togo had a chance! Yaw Annor's fierce shot inside the box was saved by goalkeeper Edouard Mendy, who made a great save from a shot that was too powerful at close range.       

In these first minutes of the match we see two teams with similar characteristics that still fail to reach the opponent's area and share possession of the ball, although a little more for the Senegal team with 64%.

The ball is already rolling at the Stade Me Abdoulaye Wade in the city of Diamniadio in Senegal between the Senegal national soccer team and the Togo national soccer team in this match for the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers. 

The Senegal and Togo teams are taking the field and we are ready to bring you all the information from Diamniadio.

We are getting ready for the ceremonial anthems of both countries.

The two teams have met eleven times in history, with Togo winning four games, Senegal winning only one and drawing on six occasions.

Last five meetings:
November 21, 2023: Togo 0-0 Senegal (2026 World Cup Qualifiers)
November 11, 2021: Togo 1-1 Senegal (2022 World Cup Qualifiers)
September 1, 2019: Senegal 2-0 Togo (2022 World Cup Qualifiers)
June 18, 2005: Senegal 2-2 Togo (2006 World Cup Qualifiers)
June 20, 2004: Togo 3-1 Senegal (2006 World Cup Qualifiers)

For its part, the national team of Togo led by the Togolese coach Daré Nibombé, ranked 119th in the FIFA ranking, has not performed well in these qualifiers where so far they have recorded four draws, one loss and no wins, thus occupying fourth place in the standings of Group B with 4 points, five points behind Senegal.

Les Eperviers must look for a victory to close the gap with Senegal in the standings against a Senegal team with which they have only lost once in history, on September 1, 2021, when they lost 2-0 in the qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Senegal's national team, led by Senegalese coach Pape Thiaw, ranked 17th in the FIFA ranking, is one of the two undefeated teams in Group B in these World Cup Qualifiers, along with Sudan, with two wins and three draws, occupying third place in the standings with 9 points. The group is shared with Sudan, DR Congo, Togo, Mauritania and South Sudan.

The Lions of Teranga will be looking for a victory to fight for the top positions in the standings of Group B in search of the ticket to the World Cup, taking into account that the Senegalese team has not lost a match since September 12, 2023 when they lost by the minimum difference against the Algerian team in a friendly game.

The Senegal vs Togo match will be played at the Stade Me Abdoulaye Wade, located in the city of Diamniadio, Senegal. This venue, inaugurated in 2022, has a capacity of 50,000 spectators.
