After Senegal’s 3-2 defeat to the United States in a World Cup 2026 warm-up match, Sadio Mane stood out with a brace despite the loss.
Beyond the result, the Lions offensive leader chose to strike a conciliatory tone, believing that this match could serve as a wake-up call just days before the showdown against France.
“There’s no problem. We would have liked to win, but there’s nothing to worry about. This match will help us gauge where we stand before our game against France. But one thing is certain: we’ll be ready before the tournament begins,” Mane explained in the mixed zone.
