Senegal’s coach Mame Thiaw says the team will focus on improving efficiency and aggression after their defeat by France. Multiple reports describe a match in which Senegal compete strongly in the first half, with the sides level at 0-0. France then breaks the deadlock in the second half when Kylian Mbappé scores in the 66th minute. Bradley Barcola adds a second goal for France in the 82nd minute, extending the lead and ending Senegal’s hopes of a comeback.
Following the result, Thiaw points to areas he believes Senegal must address to perform better against top opposition. The emphasis is on converting their play into clear attacking chances, and on raising the intensity of their game through greater aggression. The reports frame the loss as a result of France’s ability to take key moments in the second half, while Senegal remain the better side in the opening period.
