Mozambique spoils Patrick Vieira's debut, draw against Senegal

In his first match as Senegal's coach, Patrick Vieira opted for a youth-oriented lineup, leaving several key players on the bench. Senegal drew 1-1 with Mozambique in Maputo during the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, with Nicolas Jackson scoring first and Geny Catamo equalizing just before halftime. The game was marked by a foul on Assane Diao, leading to tension and yellow cards, and the match intensified in the second half with substitutions and increased nervousness from both teams.
