Supporters criticize Patrick Vieira after narrow victory against Ethiopia

Senegal secured its first win under Patrick Vieira by defeating Ethiopia 1-0 with an early goal from Ibrahim Mbaye, boosting their chances in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers with 4 points out of 6. Despite the result, many supporters criticized the quality of play, considering the victory too narrow against a less formidable Ethiopian team, and some demanded Vieira's departure. The new three-centre-back formation tested for the first time did not reassure everyone, and supporter patience appears to be running out after only two matches. Vieira will have another chance to prove himself in the friendly against Comoros on October 4 in Marseille.
