AFCON: What will follow Senegal’s unexpected knockout?

Comment

AFCON defending champions Senegal found themselves removed from the continental race after a nearly-gone Ivory Coast sent them going instead. What now?

‘The Lions of Teranga’ who boast of one of Africa’s best footballers could not hold on to the AFCON competition after failing to score a winning goal in the two main halves and in the extra ones. Their hopes was ended in a penalty kick which ended in 5–4.

What is expected to happen now? Lucky Ivory Coast will meet either Burkina Faso or Mali on the pitch come February 3 in the AFCON quarter finals.

The ongoing struggle is different from past ones — most big teams are falling while most once-inconsequencial ones are making their ways to the top.
