Senegal 2-0 Peru Player Ratings: Goals From Jackson and Ismaila Sarr Ensure A Complete Performance From The Teranga Lions

Senegal clashed against Peru in an international friendly at the Stade de France, after their critical AFCON win against Morocco. This is the first time since that controversial fixture that the Teranga Lions played an international match, and didn't shy away from flaunting their AFCON trophy ahead of the game despite CAF's new ruling to award Morocco the title.

The Senegal national football team started on the front foot, dominating the game from the very first whistle. Peru kept chasing shadows throughout the game, as Senegal kept it tight and hurt them when they were at their most vulnerable.

The first goal came through Nicolas Jackson in the 41st minute, as he met a delicious Ibrahim Mbaye cross to dispatch it right away to give Senegal the lead. The second half saw no difference, as the Teranga Lions doubled it up through Ismaila Sarr in the 54th minute to have broad daylight in the game.

The Peru national football team tried their best, but always came short of the reigning AFON champions. Check out the Senegal vs Peru Player Ratings.
