Senegalese forward Mama Diop delivered a sensational performance on Sunday night as she bagged a brilliant brace to lead her team to a dominant 4-0 victory over DR Congo in their 2024 CAF Women’s Africa Cup of Nations opener.
Diop opened the scoring just five minutes into the match and doubled her tally in the 22nd minute with a calm and clinical finish—firmly putting the Lionesses of Teranga in control. Her powerful display in the final third not only inspired Senegal’s emphatic win but also earned her the prestigious TotalEnergies Woman of the Match award.
With this standout performance, Diop has quickly emerged as one of the early stars of the tournament. Senegal will now look to build on this momentum as they continue their quest for glory in Morocco.
