The Junior Teranga Lions of Senegal have progressed into the semi-finals of the CAF U-20 Africa Cup of Nations after a hard fought 1-0 win against Benin Republic in Thursday’s quarter-final.
The win means Senegal are through to this year’s FIFA U-20 World Cup in Indonesia in May.
Samba Diallo got the only goal of the game early in the second half, to earn Senegal their fourth straight win of the tournament.

I think it will be a Senegal Nigeria final! A logical finale! I watched the whole game, even though the young Senegalese dominated in terms of scoring chances, it was a very hard fought game but they were efficient to score this goal which qualifies them!
I see a Senegal vs Gambia final
