Coach substitutions at the 62nd and 76th minutes\u2014O. Seck<\/strong>, O. Ba<\/strong>, and A. Sarr<\/strong>\u2014helped Senegal gain control of possession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The breakthrough finally arrived in the 82nd minute<\/strong>. Oumar Seck\u2019s precise pass found L. Samb<\/strong>, who coolly finished to bring the score to 1-1<\/strong>. The goal sent Senegalese fans into jubilation, but the drama was far from over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final Moments: Both Sides Push for a Winner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the dying minutes, Congo introduced Mavoungou G.<\/strong> and Andzouono E.<\/strong>, while Senegal continued to press forward. Samb L.<\/strong>, already the hero of the equalizer, made a final push in stoppage time (90+4\u2019<\/strong>) but couldn\u2019t break the deadlock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The match ended with both sides sharing the spoils, a fair reflection of their performances, but a slight disappointment for Senegal, who dominated the second half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
