"Aissatou Fall was a key player as Senegal made it through to the quarter-finals for just the second time in their history. Despite being just 17 years old, she played every single minute of Senegal's tournament in Morocco, helping the Lionesses to keep two clean sheets in four games."
"Winning the shootout proved a step too far for Senegal, but it was still a remarkable tournament for the team and for Fall, who would reap the rewards at club level, too, earning a move to national champions Aigles de la Medina in the aftermath."
