The defending champions Senegal have advanced to the Africa Cup of Nations round of 16 with a resounding 3-1 victory over the Indomitable Lions Cameroon in Yamoussoukro. The defending champions continued their impressive run, securing a second victory in Group C by defeating Gambia. Ismaïla Sarr's first-half strike surpassed Manchester United's Andre Onana, who made a delayed debut in the Ivory Coast. And Habib Diallo sealed the win with a second goal from Sarr's cross, though Cameroon's Jean-Charles Castelletto managed a late consolation goal. Nevertheless, Al Nassr forward Sadio Mane maintained composure, netting his 40th international goal in stoppage time, leaving Cameroon's knockout hopes dwindling. Meanwhile, Cameroon faces a crucial match against Gambia to keep their knockout hopes alive. The Lions of Teranga leads the group with six points, while Cameroon and Guinea each have a point, and Gambia is yet to secure a win. The upcoming clashes on Tuesday will determine the final standings in Group C.
