Why Golden Eaglets Should Be Wary Of 14-year-old Diouf If The Team Reaches Semifinals

It is no longer news that the South African U17 team was beaten by Senegal. The game started badly for the South Africans as they conceded two “own goals” in the 36th and 39th minutes before Sadio Mamadou scored Senegal’s third. In the second half, the reality was that Senegal continued to press, while South Africa only defended, but conceded two goals through Amara Diouf.

Amara Diouf has now scored against almost every opponent he has faced in the ongoing U17 Africa Cup of Nations Tournament. Note that despite being 14 years old, he is the captain of the team. The young star scored twice against South Africa, one goal against Somalia, and two goals and an assist against Algeria. Only in Senegal’s opening game did he not score. However, beyond his goals, he is also a very fast player. Against South Africa, he was involved in nearly all of the goals. He is very good at set pieces as he sends good balls into the box. So, the Golden Eaglets will have to watch out for 14-year-old winger Amara Diouf should the team reach the semifinals.
