But my guy, no be all good news o! Kalidou Koulibaly, the captain, don collect injury card, come dey suspended for the final. E no go fit play again. Na Mamadou Sarr go step in, but we dey wonder if him go fit fill the big shoes. Koulibaly don dey vex since, but e don accept say dem fit do am without am.
Referee no gree give dem space as him dey pull yellow cards like say him wan finish am for the match. Both teams don complain say dem cards no make sense, but na wah! Na wetin happen when big boys dey play, abi?
Ndiaye and Jackson for Senegal dey try shake body, but na Sadio Mane na im carry dem go where they dey go. E no dey tire to chop points for this tournament. Him don create plenty chances too, 14 times from open play. Omo, that one na serious matter!
