"I postponed my appointment with my woman just so I watch this game, and it ended in a draw. Someone help me with reasons to convince my woman to meet me."

Jogly Lupando said:

"The two games that Senegal has played so far have been very boring to watch. On two occasions they have completely failed to show that they are among the favourite teams to win the cup."

Garfield Saili said:

"CAF should reduce the starting line ups to 8 per team. We need to see goals. This is becoming very boring."

Mawuli Apenkro said:

"That's why our AFCON is not respected. Our so-called big players come here and they fail to show up. They give all their best and die for European competitions to make it attractive. Look at the tournament... poor performances ,no goals score ,draws. And we wonder why Europeans disrespect us."

Senegal came into the match on the back of a hard-fought 1-0 win over Zimbabwe courtesy of Mane penalty. Guinea edged past Malawi with the same scoreline, when Issiaga Sylla.

As reported on Sports Brief, this contest was symptomatic of what has characterised a low-scoring tournament, with many opportunities created but with very few shots on target.

For good measure, both teams had a combined 15 attempts at goal, but with only three troubling the goalkeepers.
