During this match, Sadio Man\u00e9 delivered the Teranga Lions by scoring the third goal in stoppage time. This achievement places the Senegalese striker in the history of his country in the competition.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sadio Man\u00e9 shuts down the criticism! What would a victory for Senegal against Cameroon be without this man&#8217;s goal? Absolute leader of this team, the face of Senegal, but above all the goal of the new groom! Sadio Man\u00e9 missed a clear opportunity in the first half against Cameroon, which could have been very important, but that absolutely does not detract from the match he had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The offensive impact that Sadio Man\u00e9 made was just incredible. The speed he manages to achieve is simply exceptional. In terms of running, in terms of effort, in terms of repetition of efforts throughout the match, the child of Bambali behaved like a real leader for Senegal, the one who no longer takes unnecessary risks , relies a lot on his teammates and is there when necessary to guide the team to victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"fr\" dir=\"ltr\">Une victoire plus qu\u2019importante.
