With 5 goals, the young midfielder finished best director of the CAN U20. Senegal’s National Under-20 Team shone this Saturday by winning the Africa Cup of Nations of the category, a first in the history of Senegalese football. And it is partly thanks to Pope Demba Diop. While he remained silent in the final against Gambia (2-0), the midfielder has impressed since the start of the tournament.
He finished best scorer of the competition, with five achievements. A first for a Senegalese since the 2019 edition, when Youssouph Badji and Amadou Dia Ndiaye finished co-top scorers of the competition, with three goals each. With its brilliant CAN, Pape Demba Diop could therefore benefit from more game time at Zulte-Waregem.
