The Teranga Lionesses of Senegal took the lead in the first half game against Crested Cranes of Uganda in their opening WAFCON game.

A keenly contested game between both teams looked to be heading to a goalless draw before Diakhate put the Teranga Lionesses ahead in the 39th minute.

When the second resumes, Senegal will be hoping to add another while the Crested Cranes will be seeking for the equalizer.
