00:03 Welcome back to the start of the Charles
00:08 Konanabani de Yamoussoukro.
00:10 We are just moments away from this matchday three clash
00:14 in a group C between Guinea and Senegal
00:18 to see who will top this group C.
00:22 Senegal starts now on main sports.
00:24 [Music]
00:30 And both sides final game in the group.
00:33 As said whoever Sunday morning Antoine Conte
00:37 started the first game dropped for the second but back in today and that's
00:41 because Ibrahim Diakite, the man who replaced placed him
00:45 Ibrahim Diakite
00:48 was on a yellow card and instantly we see
00:52 some pushing and shoving. This is a
00:56 and the referee has immediately got some work to do and this is threatening to
01:00 spill out of control and they need to get their emotions in check here.
01:04 Asdi Awara getting involved the number six
01:08 and the Burundi referee needs just to handle this
01:11 and certainly in the Guinean side.
01:15 Okay.
01:18 Jakobs takes it, swings it in. It's going to fall here to be hit from the edge of the area.
01:22 A really good strike as well deflected behind for a corner.
01:26 [Music]
01:29 In front of the elephant logo of this tournament in the ivory coast of course.
01:34 [Music]
01:45 An early booking.
01:48 Amadou Diawara, Guinea can break here
01:52 as Keita looks for Garasi.
01:56 That's a proper chance for him to show what he can do and he just plays it back into Keita.
02:00 Very central, nice little one-two
02:04 with Conte. They've still got it, still Keita goes into the middle.
02:08 All a bit scrappy and jatter with it.
02:12 Swung in, Mane's claiming that there was a push and a foul in the area.
02:16 Now there are a few Senegalese but it still goes on, driver goal.
02:20 Deflected behind and once again it's Bendi with the strike.
02:24 Cisse also feels there may have been incident in the box
02:28 and Senegalese players are still complaining.
02:32 [Music]
02:35 Mane among them.
02:38 So too Koulibaly.
02:42 Garasi well-martialed by Gueye but wins the header.
02:46 Conte can't get on the end of it.
02:49 As we enter the 45th minute, Mane's in behind. Good first touch from Mane.
02:53 He goes down in the area under pressure.
02:56 Nothing doing says the referee and he goes past Jacobs.
02:59 Jacobs just muscles him off but really good one there from Agibu-Kamara.
03:03 Keita fighting, battling with Gueye.
03:06 Three Senegalese around him. He's just been lashed out at surely by Jacobs.
03:11 Well this is a referee who's not got his cards out at all
03:14 but now he does belatedly and now he kicks off.
03:18 Both sides going in. The substitute off the bench from both sides.
03:24 Subside now. The second half of Guinea-Senegal starts now on Beansports.
03:28 [Music]
03:39 Will we see more? Will we see their first strike on goal?
03:44 Jata for Senegal.
03:46 Bit of space now after he gets it back from Seng.
03:49 That's better into Sarr. Sarr can make things happen.
03:53 For once his touch deserts him and on the rare occasion he was in behind
03:58 and the men to aim for.
04:01 It's over Koulibaly. Will come to Papsar on this near side.
04:07 Mendy swings it in and there is a header on.
04:10 I would say on goal. It's off target.
04:13 Not effort by Abdelayek Seke.
04:16 Almost counts as one.
04:18 Ibrahim Kone in no man's land.
04:23 Naby Keita.
04:30 And he's through now.
04:32 Decided touch Omane. He's round the goalkeeper.
04:34 Can he find the empty net? He can't.
04:36 Sergio Mane. Arms up all around the stadium.
04:41 And the former African Footballer of the Year, well he had done all the hard bit.
04:45 That was the crucial touch to get away. Then round the goalkeeper.
04:48 Quite a heavy touch but there was still a lot to aim at.
04:52 And he just couldn't put it between the two white posts.
04:56 And it stays nil-nil.
04:58 But undoubtedly Senegal's clearest sight of goal.
05:05 That's a better ball in.
05:07 And that's got to be the first goal of the game.
05:09 And it is. And it is Abdelayek Seke.
05:12 He defies the back of the net. He didn't play at the last Nations Cup.
05:17 And here he is today. And he has thumped that pass.
05:20 Kone in the guinea goal.
05:25 No suggestion of offside from there.
05:27 All alone. Powered home.
05:30 And Abdelayek Seke. How he enjoyed that.
05:33 First goal ever at a Nations Cup.
05:44 Delivery is good in the danger area. But it doesn't find its way.
05:48 My camera really in the right area.
05:51 And that was more of a defensive header.
05:54 He just needed a little glance.
05:56 Look at this. Full contact.
05:58 Off the shoulder. That's why you got it absolutely wrong.
06:03 And at present, given the scoreline in Bouaké, they won't mind too much.
06:07 Conte. Often they double up on him.
06:11 And Seke just hits it up towards the guinea.
06:15 But they've not won a knockout game this century.
06:19 Swung in deep. Up they go.
06:21 Cissé, the substitute.
06:23 Just wouldn't get out on his feet in that Guiban camera.
06:27 Let's fly.
06:29 In his hands. And back.
06:32 Head up. Head back.
06:34 The drumming is certainly intense.
06:42 Ndjai on the floor. In behind. Is he onside?
06:45 Well, he is for now.
06:47 But no, he's not, because he had the ball in the back of the net.
06:49 And Joe Mane, he thought he had got Senegal second.
06:53 Easy decision.
06:57 Clear daylight. A yard or two.
07:00 And he made the finish look easy as well.
07:02 At the end of the group stage.
07:07 Hence, Carbadia-Wara releasing all his players as Illyman Ndjai is in.
07:12 And he can make it two for Senegal. And he does.
07:15 And Senegal take a 2-0 lead right on the stroke of 90 minutes.
07:20 Illyman Ndjai with his first ever Nations Cup goal.
07:24 3-2 up from a corner.
07:26 But it's time to look at the calculations again.
07:29 Guinea scored two. Conceded three.
07:32 They are minus one. Cameroon, they are five.
07:35 Six. They are also minus one.
07:37 Cameroon will surely be going through in second place, therefore,
07:40 on goals scored.
07:43 Because the goal difference is the same.
07:46 And that will be a replay of two.
07:54 African Giants ball in the middle. They need this to go.
07:56 And Guinea on goal. Look at this lovely swivel from Giela Bigi.
08:00 And he can't have seen it till late, Mendy, because Koulibaly was in the way.
08:05 Senegal finish top of the group as they defeat Guinea by two goals to nil.
