My people, make I gist you wetin dey happen for AFCON wey dey hot like pepper soup! As e stand now, Senegal dey lead Mali 1-0 for quarter-final wey dem dey play for Tangier. Omo, Senegal score first goal with mistake wey Djigui Diarra, Mali goalkeeper, make. Na Iliman Ndiaye wey tap am inside net after Diarra let ball slip under im body.
But wait o, the plot thickens! Just as we dey enter half-time, Mali captain Yves Bissouma collect red card for stoppage time. E be like say referee dey vex as Bissouma foul Idrissa Gana Gueye anyhow. Na wetin we call self-inflicted injury, my people!
For the first half, Senegal show sey dem dey control the game, though Mali try small small. Bissouma wey suppose carry dem enter semi-finals come use bad discipline spoil the show. If dem no watch am, na so dem go waka come house, no be joke!
Mali don suffer already, dem no win since the tournament start. For group stage, dem just dey draw draw like say dem wan collect money for gisting. Na penalty shootout carry dem pass Tunisia, but this time, e no go easy for dem. Senegal wey be one of the favorites dey ready to show dem pepper.
Now, as we don reach half-time, Senegal don get the advantage well well. Na dem sabi ball pass! If Mali wan make any comeback, dem go need to drop the ginger and find strength from somewhere. The second half go start soon, and na there we go see who go carry the day!
My comrades, no forget sey this match na wallahi matter. Any team wey win go face either the next opponent or go pack dem yarin come back home. So make we sit down, enjoy the match, and hope sey our team perform well!
