A collective response praised by Koulibaly, which allowed Senegal to leave with an important point. "Today, we're happy to have taken this point."
Facing a solid and talented Congolese team, the performance takes on a special dimension. "Congo is a very strong team, with many individual qualities. We knew it would be a difficult match, but we showed some good things," he added.

In terms of the game itself, the Lions' captain highlighted many positive aspects. "Offensively, we created a lot of chances. Defensively, we tried to keep a clean sheet, even if we didn't manage it tonight," he acknowledged, before concluding with the need to continue working. "After a first match, there are always things to improve. We'll keep working."
