00:00So the referee blows the whistle, and away we go in Morocco.

00:07The Gambia get us under way.

00:09Match day one in this year's Total Energies CAF Under-17 Africa Cup of Nations.

00:15Reigning champions Senegal take on the two-time champions, the Gambia, in Group C's first

00:23game.

00:25Senegal in their traditional green, with the yellow and red trim.

00:34The Gambia in all white, shooting from right to left as we watch on in this first 45.

00:44Youth prospect Aliou Dramme, Sebastien Dabo, plays his youth football in Norway for Grood

00:51IJL in Oslo.

00:55Bengay leaves it, it's a great, great effort, and it's the opener.

00:59Nothing Dabo could do, diving to his right, I think got a hand to it, but it wasn't enough

01:09to keep it out.

01:11The Lion Cubs of Taranga get themselves on their way to defending their title.

01:21They said it was dangerously positioned, but that is some strike.

01:33Round of applause.

01:40Just look at that.

01:43Captain leads by example, Ibrahima Sorisau with a parlor.

01:52Referee content, he's calmed things down amid the tussles.

01:58It's taken short, it's a smart one, it was over to Sorisau again.

02:03This time there was no killer.

02:10Just left to the captain, he tries his luck again, it's off the top of the bar.

02:16He showed exactly what he could do from a dead ball situation five minutes into this

02:22game.

02:25And that was centimetres from being an even more spectacular second.

02:38Dabo diving, it's dinked in, but that'll be comfortable for Dabo.

02:47And there is the halftime whistle.

02:49We're thoroughly entertaining, first 45 in Group C.

02:54It's Senegal who lead at the halfway point here, 1-0 against their local rivals, neighbours,

03:04the Gambia, the reigning champions.

03:09One to the good, and on their way to defending their title, as they'd have hoped.

03:21Off we go again, it was a great first 45, plenty of action, plenty of endeavour.

03:31Senegal starting the second half as they finish the first, on the front foot, Sidi

03:37Ndiaye's cross, gathered up by Dabo.

03:41It's going to come straight back at the young Gambian keeper here though.

03:56He's out, the young man who is the difference between these sides.

04:03Safe option in the end, proved not to be that safe, a mistake from Mbengue, hands over possession.

04:15Like Senegal before them, just delaying a little, no rapid counter, and it's an opportunistic,

04:23optimistic attempt from a very long range, which ultimately of Van Son-Gomis, from Al-Ghibabali.

04:40So he's out, to send it in again.

04:44It's another nice delivery, one which found a Gambian head.

04:54So fresh legs for the latter stages, but it's Senegal with just one substitute.

05:11Wiped in by the captain to a good area, and he partially cleared, it was this time Wagner

05:19trying to divert it back towards goal.

05:28Senegal with yet another corner, and it's in, to a teammate in Ndiaye, he couldn't get

05:40the deft touch required, he immediately gives it away.

05:46To his credit, 16-year-old immediately backtracking, having just run the length of the pitch in

05:52opposite directions three times in a row.

05:58So to Ndiaye, still full of running on the opposite flank, that ball will be plucked

06:05out of the air by Van Son-Gomis.

06:07They've managed to produce in the last 10 or 15 minutes, what can they do with it?

06:18Partially cleared, a little fall to a Gambia substitute, it's worked, a chance for the

06:25shot, well it fell, to a Brima Jatta of all people, the centre-back, sent into the danger

06:39area, but it's well held by Van Son-Gomis, the keeper goes to ground, and it is headed

06:51away.

06:55Not thoroughly though, Sajo does well, battles on through, Mbale sends it to the right,

07:05Jamees Cross is the final whistle, Gambian players slumped to the turf, so too do some

07:15of the Senegalese, they have given their all, both sets of players, but it is the reigning

07:24champions who come away with a 1-0 victory, their captain with a pretty special free-kick

07:36just over five minutes into the game, Ibrahima Sarisal, and that would prove to be the difference

07:42between the two, come the final whistle, the reigning champions are on their way once

07:51again, final score in El Jadida, Senegal under-17s 1, the Gambian under-17s 0.
