If indeed Sadio Mane plays, the Netherlands defense will be in danger, because we all know what kind of player Sadio Mane is. Sadio Mane playing is a huge opportunity for Senegal that they can use Sadio Mane to increase their match winning ability.
Mane's absence was seriously affecting the Senegalese. They lacked the sharpness to convert there dominance. Another area they seriously lack is a creative Mildfielder, there Mildfield is just packed with ball collectors and not connectors. But not withstanding they did great in the game except Mendy in Goal who let them down in both goals
Although Senegal lost today but their performance did not disappoint at least they can provide attacks and shots 15 times 4 of them are on target
It is clear that Sadio Mane absence has a significant impact the accuracy of the attack looks weaker and here Mane usually takes a role as a goals scorer
In the next match Senegal will get an easier opponent, yes, it is Qatar it should be a good opportunity for them at least to collect the first point.
He made a wrong move on the first goal. He should have punched the ball before Gakpo. On the second goal, he bounced Depay's shot. That shot was actually not a very hard shot. Senegal were not successful in the final strikes but they were fighting well. I think it would be wrong to say that they deserved this defeat. If Edouard Mendy had been a little more careful, Senegal could have gotten points from this match...
