The last meetings between Banyana Banyana and Senegal were in two friendly matches in June last year, away in Dakar with one draw and a 2-0 victory for the South Africans. The two goals were scored by Amogelang Motau and Noxolo Cesane, who played pivotal roles to ensure Banyana’s progression in this tournament.

Banyana’s first two matches against Ghana and Tanzania were not very impressive.

They found their mojo in their third game against Mali, that were level on points with them on the Group C log, with only goal difference setting them apart. They then beat Mali 4-0 to finish at the top of the Group and advance to the quarter-finals.
