"Senegal largely dominated possession but a stalemate proved to be a rather suitable outcome between two sides with hopes of going far in the competition. How the action unfolded In the 12th minute, Aaron Wan-Bissaka had the ball in the Senegal net but the goal was quickly ruled out for offside in the build-up. At the other end, Nicolas Jackson went close when he steered an effort wide from Sadio Mane's cut-back."
"For all Senegal's possession in the first-half, the tournament joint-favourites fell behind shortly after the hour mark when Bakambu prodded home after a Wan-Bissaka cross from the right caused confusion in the box. The lead lasted all of eight minutes. Everton's Iliman Ndiaye was put through down the right-hand side before his shot was saved by Mpasi. The rebound fell to Mane who took a touch before finishing past two Congolese defenders on the line."
