As the 2019 African Cup of Nations progresses steadily towards its conclusion, the tournament will see Senegal take on Benin in the quarterfinals on Wednesday, at the 30 June Stadium in Cairo. Benin have failed to register a win against Senegal in their last four clashes, with one of them ending in a draw and three with Senegal coming out on top.
Senegal
Having come into the tournament on a six-game unbeaten run, Senegal continued the positive string one by adding a seventh, a 2-0 win over Tanzania in the opening round. Algeria then stepped in and ended the run by beating them 1-0, which eventually enabled them to finish top of Group C, but Senegal sprang back with a 3-0 thrashing of Kenya to secure passage into the knockout stages.
Vincent Aboubakar is poised to join Besiktas for a third time after the January transfers of Cristiano Ronaldo and Wout Weghorst set up a Super Lig opportunity for the Cameroonian.
Al Nassr announced Aboubakar s exit, before Besiktas on Saturday confirmed they were in talks with the striker.
A pair of transfers involving Manchester United have paved the way for the deal.
Al Nassr pounced when United released Ronaldo in November, and the Premier League club then plumped for Weghorst as they sought a replacement, prising him away from his loan from Burnley to Besiktas.
With Besiktas seeking a player to take Weghorst s place, they struck on Aboubakar as the man for the job, knowing exactly what he will bring.
Now 30, Aboubakar spent a season on loan …
Lionel Messi has hailed Atletico Madrid s Jan Oblak as one of the best goalkeepers in the world and admits he loves the challenge of trying to beat him.
Oblak became the most expensive goalkeeper to join a Spanish top-flight side when he moved to Atleti from Benfica for €16million in 2014.
He has consistently been one of Los Rojiblancos best performers since then and has started the 2020-21 campaign in typically outstanding form.
The Slovenia international has kept a clean sheet in nine of his 13 LaLiga appearances to help Atleti sit atop LaLiga ahead of rivals Real Madrid, who have the same number of points but have played two games more.
He has conceded the fewest amount of goals in the league just five while only three goalkeepers have made more t…
Frank Lampard felt Willy Caballero had no chance with either of Leicester City s goals as Chelsea earned a well-fought away point at one of their top-four rivals.
Having started the FA Cup tie at Hull City the previous weekend, goalkeeper Caballero surprisingly kept his place picked ahead of Kepa Arrizabalaga for the Premier League trip to the King Power Stadium.
Lampard explained prior to kick-off that he had not taken the decision lightly to leave out the world s most expensive goalkeeper, with Kepa having come in for criticism after the 2-2 home draw with Arsenal last month.
While Caballero conceded twice in his first league outing since May 2019, Lampard felt there was little he could do with either strike, particularly the first as Harvey Barnes drive was de…
Lautaro Martinez put Argentina s stunning 2-1 defeat to Saudi Arabia in their World Cup Group C opener on Tuesday down to their own mistakes .
Lionel Messi put La Albiceleste ahead early on from the penalty spot at Lusail Stadium, but two goals in the space of five second-half minutes from Saleh Al Shehri and Salem Al Dawsari completed one of the biggest shocks in World Cup history.
Martinez, who had two efforts ruled out for offside with the score at 1-0, lamented his side s sloppiness and says their focus needs to turn immediately to their two remaining Group C games against Mexico and Poland.
We lost the game due to our mistakes more than anything in the second half, he said. In the first half we had to score more than one goal, but this is the World Cup.

Stefano Pioli has revealed the referee apologised after ruling out what should have been a valid Milan goal in Monday s defeat to Spezia.
The Rossoneri slumped to a shock 2-1 loss as Emmanuel Gyasi scored with almost the final kick of a thriller at San Siro.
Title rivals Inter drew 0-0 with Atalanta on Sunday, but Milan failed to claim a win that would have sent them to the Serie A summit.
The hosts dominated the first half and took a deserved lead through Rafael Leao, just after Theo Hernandez had missed a penalty.
Yet their profligacy cost them in the second half when Kevin Agudelo equalised.
Milan were then left furious as Junior Messias fine late effort was struck off due to a premature whistle from referee Marco Serra, who had blown up for…
Jude Bellingham s record as the youngest player in European Championship history lasted just six days as Kacper Kozlowski made his major tournament bow for Poland.
Borussia Dortmund s Bellingham was introduced as a substitute in England s Euro 2020 opener against Croatia, aged 17 years and 349 days.
He became the competition s most junior star, taking the honour from Netherlands left-back Jetro Willems, who featured against Denmark at Euro 2012 at the age of 18 years and 71 days.
However, Bellingham s benchmark was quickly surpassed as Poland introduced Kozlowski in Saturday s Group E clash with Spain.
17 Kacper Kozlowski (17 years and 246 days) has become the youngest ever player to make an appearance at the European Championships, overtaking Jude Bellin…
The first trophy of the Italian football season is on the line on Wednesday when fierce rivals Inter and Milan face off for the Supercoppa Italiana at the King Fahd International Stadium in Riyadh.
Scudetto holders Milan and last season s Coppa Italia winners Inter appear well out of the Serie A title race at the midway point this time around, trailing leaders Napoli by nine and 10 points respectively.
Inter are still in the mix for silverware elsewhere this campaign, though, as they have a Champions League last-16 tie with Porto on the horizon and are also through to the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia.
As for Milan, they are also in the first knockout round of Europe s primary club competition – where Tottenham await over two legs – but they were elimina…
