Confirm the very good entry into the running on one side, launch your competition on the other.
These will be the challenges of the remake of the CAN 2021 final between Senegal and Cameroon, this Friday, at the Charles-Konan-Banny Stadium in Yamoussoukro.
Winners without trembling over Gambia on Monday January 14 (3-0), thanks in particular to the superb double from young Metz Lamine Camara, Sadio Mané and his partners will ensure their qualification for the round of 16 in the event of victory.
On the Cameroonian side, the first joker was burned against Guinea (1-1).
With their backs to the wall, Rigobert Song's players know they are expected.
Deprived of their center forward Vincent Aboubakar, the Indomitable Lions must win.
However, a defeat would not be completely crippling, with the four best third-placed teams also qualifying for the round of 16.
Senegal-Cameroon kicks off this Friday, January 19 at 6 p.m.
The meeting will be broadcast on BeIN Sports 1 and can be followed live with commentary on
