The match was a closely contested affair, with both teams creating chances but ultimately, Senegal’s clinical finishing proved to be the difference-maker. The Black Queens had opportunities to score, but they were unable to capitalize on them. Chaney’s long drive in the 58th minute missed the post by inches, and the team was unable to find the back of the net despite their best efforts.
