Senegal coach Pape Thiaw has disclosed that the team should have scored more goals against Mali in the quarter-finals of the ongoing 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
Recall that Senegal managed a 1-0 win over 10-man Mali on Friday, to seal a place in the semi-finals of the tournament.
Speaking after the game, Thiaw in a chat with Cafonline, stated that his players were not clinical in front of goal despite playing against a 10-man Mali.

“It was not an easy match because we played against a very talented Mali team, but we achieved our objective. The Mali team has good qualities and they created many challenges for us,” Thiaw told CAF Media.
“If we had been more clinical in front of goal, we could have scored more goal,s but what is more important today is for us to have qualified for the semi-final. We will look into our errors and look to correct them for our future matches.
“We hope that we will be more efficient in front of goal and have more luck in future.”
