Senegal Vs Botswana Player Ratings as Jackson Announced Himself in AFCON With Brace

3 min
Senegal Vs Botswana

Summary

  • Nicolas Jackson stole the spotlight as Senegal cruised past Botswana, announcing his arrival at AFCON with a brilliant brace and a dominant all-round display.
  • Phoko, the Botswana goalkeeper, stunned everyone with an outstanding 9.9/10 performance, making a string of top saves. However, his heroic effort went in vain as his teammates failed to support him defensively.

After the successful completion of Day 1 of the action-packed AFCON, it was clear that the competition is just as intense as any European tournament. The focus then shifted to Day 2 of the Africa Cup of Nations, where Senegal vs Botswana stood out as the key fixture.

As expected, the match lived up to its pre-game hype and did not disappoint. Once again, this edition proved that missing even a single game could leave fans regretting it later, as every match has something special to offer for viewers.

Pape Thiaw and Co. started to dominate the game from the first whistle and the way they were playing it looked like they were going to humble the Botswana national football team. However Goalkeeper Phoku had other plans today.

As seen in the match stats table, he single-handedly saved his team from getting beaten by a big margin, making 14 crucial saves and allowing only 3 shots, including 2 from sportsdunia player of the match Nicolas Jackson to reach the back of the net, which decided the fate of the match.
