We'll have five more minutes of stoppage time in the second half. Shortly after stoppage time, Congo made a change, replacing Andzouono with Mavoungou. Layousse received a yellow card for a heavy foul in midfield.

After the goal, Senegal began to press again, trying to create danger in the attacking half. Despite this, they were unable to create as many dangerous shots, as the match was slowing down, with little happening on the field.

Once again, both teams made substitutions in the second half. Congo made three changes, with Mankou, Dzaba, and Moussavou leaving for Ekongo, Mossala, and Ngantsui. Senegal also left Gomis and Gueye, making way for Ba and Sarr.

Both teams make changes during the match. Senegal replaced Niang, Ly, and Koité with Vieux, Seck, and Fonseca. Congo replaced Elenga with Okana. The game's tempo is slowing down at the moment of the game.

Elenga, on the counterattack, received the pass in front and struck hard, sending the ball over the goal, wide, the first clear shot in this second half of a slower-starting match so far in this matchweek 2!

Unlike the first half, where the game's dominance alternated, with one team creating a threat and then the other, this second half started evenly, with both teams locking down the midfield, unable to create any danger.

The second half starts slower, with neither team yet to threaten the attacking half. Senegal tries to maintain possession in the attacking half, exchanging passes and trying to create danger, but to no avail.

On the right, Ba received the pass, bursting into the box to strike powerfully, but sent the ball wide. And we'll have another seven minutes of added time in this first half, after numerous stops for player treatment.

Congo once again maintains possession in the attacking half in these final minutes, managing to press high up the pitch. Despite this, they still fail to produce any dangerous shots, leaving the game slower and less exciting.

On the right, Senegal had two consecutive corners. The first was crossed into the box, in the confusion, for a deflection, where Samba palmed it out for a corner, again hit in the box, for the defense to clear, but with a clash of heads, which left a player on each side on the ground, to be treated and returned to the field.

At the edge of the box, Koité picked up a loose ball and attempted a shot, but the defense blocked it. Senegal continued to attack, but created very little, failing to come close to equalizing in today's match.

Despite this pressure, Congo no longer shoots as well as before. Meanwhile, Senegal begins to gain possession, exchanging passes in the attacking half, trying to attack Congo once again, but also failing to get a shot on target.

After the goal, Congo was awarded a free kick from the left, which the defense cleared. Even with the score at 1-0, Congo continued to threaten Senegal's defense in attack, something that has been working so far!

On the right, Congo received a corner kick, which the defense cleared away. Congo tried to maintain possession in the attacking half in the final minutes, avoiding Senegal's pressure in the early stages.

The game starts with a stalemate. Cissé is fouled in midfield and remains on the ground for treatment. He leaves the field and returns to the field once more. Congo receives a corner kick on the right, which the defense clears.
