The Senegalese U-20 national team have reached the Semi-final of the 2023 African Cup Of Nations in Egypt.
The cubs who are bookmakers' favourites defeated toothless Benin U-20 by a goal to nothing in the first quarter-final played at the Cairo International stadium, Egypt.
Samba Dialo nodded home a free kick in the 51st minute to seal Senegal's victory which ensures they became the first team to reach the last four.
Senegal have been runners-up three times, prior to this tournament, and are still chasing first glory at the U-20 level.
To reach the quarter-final, the cubs scored eight goals and conceded none, defeated the Flying Eagles Of Nigeria by a single goal, whip Mozambique 3-0 before trashing hosts Egypt 4-0 in their final group game.
Benin, however, qualified as one of the best third place teams, having secured just two points from their preliminary stage matches.
