Burundi just about did enough to fend off the challenge of Malawi and come away with maximum points from a thrilling five-goal match in Thursday’s encounter between the teams.

Chimwemwe Idana’s own goal and a Jean Claude Girumugisha effort were cancelled out by strikes from Chawanangwa Kaonga and Lanjesi Nkhoma, before Mokono Eldhino grabbed the winner to spark celebrations for Etienne Ndayiragije’s side.

Off the back of a dismal run of five matches across all competitions without a win, Burundi have now won successive games for the first time since 2020 and are without defeat in four straight contests.

Meanwhile, after wasting multiple chances to put the game to bed, Senegal were left kicking themselves as they surrendered a 1-0 advantage with the final kick of the ball in their game against Burkina Faso at Stade Me Abdoulaye Wade on Friday.

The Lions of Teranga raced to an early lead through Sadio Mane and should have been well and truly out of sight before Ousseni Bouda scored in second-half stoppage time to force a share of the spoils.

While Aliou Cisse would have been disappointed to see his side drop two points, Senegal are now unbeatenn in 12 of their last 13 matches, with the only defeat in that time coming at the AFCON against host nation Ivory Coast.

Mokono Eldhino could be rewarded with a place in the starting lineup here after coming off the bench to open his Burundi account and score the winner against Malawi.

Bienvenue Kanakimana will be looking to deliver the goods once again having racked up three direct goal contributions – two goals and one assist – in his last two international matches.

Sadio Mane scored for a third straight game in a Senegal shirt last time out to move up to 44 goals and extend his lead at the top of the all-time scoring charts.

With Edouard Mendy not in contention, Seny Dieng was given the nod to feature in goal and will be expected to retain his place in the XI.
