The Teranga Lions further solidified their lead with a second goal in the 90th minute courtesy of Iliman Ndiaye as Guinea pressed for an equalizer.

Securing a 2-0 victory over the determined Guinean side, Senegal claimed the top spot in Group C with 9 points from three games, enjoying a five-point lead over second-placed Cameroon, who also secured qualification for the next round.

Manchester United goalkeeper Andrea Onana did not feature in the game, having been unable to prevent the team’s 3-1 loss to Senegal on January 19.

Despite this, Guinea remains a strong contender to qualify for the round of 16 as one of the best-performing teams among the losers in the 2023 AFCON.
