Senegal and Peru are already playing the second half!

After a tense start to the match, Senegal gradually took control of the rhythm, dominating the first half and finishing with 57% possession.

The Lions of Teranga finally broke the deadlock in the 41st minute. The goal came after a brilliant run from 18-year-old PSG sensation Ibrahim Mbaye, who delivered a pinpoint cross to Nicolas Jackson.

Senegal continue to dominate possession as the match progresses, currently holding 55% of the ball. However, they have struggled to convert this territorial advantage into clear-cut scoring opportunities against a resilient Peruvian defense.

Lamine Camara also joined the list of players looking to break the deadlock from distance, but like Noriega's earlier attempt, his powerful strike sailed over the Peruvian crossbar.

Jairo Velez unleashed a powerful strike but Mory Diaw was right there to saved it!

Peru's Erick Noriega registered the first shot of the game, but his effort sailed over Senegal's crossbar.

Although the match is technically at a neutral venue in Saint-Denis, the Lions of Teranga are being treated to a home environment, due to the massive Senegalese diaspora living in France.

Despite the high energy in the stands, the game has become increasingly congested in the midfield, with neither side managing to register a single shot on target or off-target in the opening 15 minutes.

As the first half progresses, the momentum has shifted at the Stade de France. After an aggressive opening ten minutes from Peru, Senegal have taken control of the match, dictating the tempo through superior ball possession.

Peru have started the match with high intensity, putting immediate pressure on Senegal’s defense. Within the opening five minutes at the Stade de France, the Bicolor managed to break into the final third, earning the first corner kick of the encounter.
