Tue Oct 15 13:43:07 UTC 2024: ## Senegal Dominates Malawi in AFCON Qualifier, Jackson Scores Stunning Goal
**Blantyre, Malawi** – Senegal cruised to a comfortable 4-0 victory over Malawi in their Africa Cup of Nations qualifier on Tuesday, with a stunning goal from Brighton Jackson highlighting the dominance of the Lions of Teranga.
The match was tipped in Senegal’s favour early on when Malawi goalkeeper Brighton Munthali was red-carded for denying Sadio Mane a clear scoring opportunity in the 16th minute. Despite failing to capitalize on the ensuing free kick, Senegal took the lead before half-time thanks to a powerful strike from Pape Gueye, the Villarreal midfielder’s shot bouncing off the crossbar and into the net.
Mane added to the scoreline in the 68th minute as Malawi’s fatigue became evident, and substitute Boulaye Dia further cemented the victory three minutes later with a composed finish.
Jackson, who came off the bench, provided the standout moment of the match in the 77th minute. The midfielder received the ball on the edge of the box, expertly dribbled past three Malawi defenders, and unleashed a powerful shot past substitute goalkeeper George Chikooka to seal the 4-0 win.
Senegal now sits second in Group L with three matches played, trailing leader Burkina Faso only on goal difference. Malawi remains the only team in the group without a win after suffering three consecutive defeats.
