PSG Teen Ibrahim Mbaye Stars on First Senegal Start With Goal, Two Assists in 8-0 Rout of Kenya

The 17-year-old PSG prospect’s display strengthens his case for an AFCON call-up next month.

Overview

  • Mbaye was involved in four goals, scoring once, supplying two assists and winning a penalty in the 8-0 friendly.
  • Sadio Mané converted the penalty Mbaye earned and also finished one of his assists, while Malick Diouf scored from the other.
  • The teenager started three days after a late cameo in a loss to Brazil and exited to applause after 68 minutes.
  • Coach Pape Thiaw praised his players for following instructions and keeping a competitive edge, while noting the friendly context.
  • Some reports said he became Senegal’s youngest goalscorer and assister, and the performance is viewed as boosting his AFCON chances as he gains minutes under Luis Enrique at PSG.
