00:00He's taking his first steps as an international manager, having previously taking charge at the likes of Crystal Palace and
00:08most recently Genoa.
00:10And we're underway.
00:14And plenty of intrigue as to how Patrick Vieira era will continue.
00:20Can they get up and running?
00:22Or will Ethiopia in their famous green and golden shorts be able to cause a shock?
00:30Mia Cate able to get across and shepherd it back to Yevon Jouf.
00:42A huge encouragement early on and the crowd are not going to be shy to make their voices heard.
00:51They'll hope to play their part as a 12th man against the 2021 African champions.
01:06Cinecal in all white, hoping to shine bright.
01:11That's a superb play to just block the path.
01:15Good strength to own from Cernet Gugsa.
01:28Lovely touch and turn from Nicholas Jackson.
01:32It's Abdellasima in fact.
01:34Now tries to link with Ibrahim Mbaye.
01:39Nicholas Jackson again.
01:41And now the strike is a fantastic save.
01:45Abubakir Noura sprung into action.
01:51Well, Pap Gay, certainly we know he's got an absolute bullet on him.
01:55In particular, his brace against Iraq at the World Cup.
02:06They're going to need Abubakir Noura to be at his best today.
02:13Ethiopia looking for an early one as they're in on goal.
02:16But he stands on the ball when the opportunity looked to be on for Abdel Yalu.
02:25But Ethiopia have not given up the ghost.
02:28It's a very nervy start at the back for Senegal.
02:33But attacking-wise, they're looking threatening.
02:36Nicholas Jackson bursts into the box, but he shows too much of the ball to Samuel.
02:42Gets a high five.
02:44No wonder.
02:47Katouche Panorama.
02:5022-year-old midfielder, certainly expected to show plenty of vision.
02:57Now a chance for Ahsan Diao.
03:00We had a really good first half against Mozambique.
03:03The Como forward tries to link with Pap Gay,
03:07but Ethiopia certainly wasn't quite able to be on point
03:14when it came to a match against Mozambique.
03:18Amdala Sima, the man who set up, Nicholas Jackson,
03:22although he had plenty to do to get that opener in Mozambique.
03:32The boos ring out as Senegal threaten.
03:36Malik Jouf.
03:38That is a swing and well-wide miss.
03:43Pap Gay certainly with a more ferocious hammer on the right.
03:53A bit of space in midfield.
04:02Now the white shirt's moving.
04:05And Bay gets the ball and now strikes!
04:08Fabulous finish!
04:11Senegal have had to put up with a little bit of Ethiopian pressure,
04:15but they've released that valve in just a fourth start for his country.
04:22It's another in Bay goal.
04:32Well, no wonder they were so excited to get this teenager signed up.
04:41He scored their first goal, his native France.
04:48But now he gets his first goal of the Afghan qualifying group.
04:55And it's a sweet finish.
04:59Senegal leading the AFCON in East Africa.
05:08Certainly plenty of excitement.
05:12And now, much the same here in Ethiopia,
05:15as the hosts look for an opportunity to goal!
05:19And it just swings wide from Fekere.
05:26Yevajouf absolutely...
05:35The ball breaks kindly for Lamine Kamara.
05:43Now a chance to hit the byline.
05:45Diawa cross.
05:47Samuel thankful, as is his manager, Salih.
05:52And his clearance went behind for a corner.
05:55Can they go one better?
05:58Can find a leveller.
06:05Ball drifted in.
06:07Free header!
06:08Running onto it.
06:10But sword over.
06:15What a chance for Chenet Gugsa.
06:21Throwing, though, it is to Senegal.
06:32So just the two shots on goal, one of which was a cracker from Mbaye.
06:38Giving Senegal this slender 1-0 lead, but there's plenty of nerves at the back.
06:45Patrick Vieira won't be overly comfortable with.
06:48Here's the goal scorer.
06:51Here's the goal scorer.
06:52Lovely just change of direction.
06:54It's a nice looking ball, but Noura read it perfectly.
06:59And...
07:14Driving run that runs into trouble.
07:18And is there trouble for Senegal?
07:25Ball slurred forward.
07:27Now into the area.
07:29Chance to strike!
07:30The best chance of the half for Ethiopia.
07:33And they almost did what Mozambique did to Senegal on match day one.
07:41Yevanchouf looking for answers from his defence.
07:45As Ethiopia sparkled, but just wide.
07:52Binyam Fikri may just call it a half.
08:03Well, nothing has dampened the spirits of the home side.
08:17Well, he has, though, desperate not to concede late.
08:20What a defensive header that was.
08:24And Fikri completes the clearance.
08:27As the halftime whistle sounds.
08:31Well, Senegal have improved because they've held on to their 1-0 lead
08:35in a way they didn't in Mozambique.
08:37Ibrahim Mbaye gives Patrick Vieira's side a 1-0 advantage,
08:41but it is far from comfortable.
08:45And Ethiopia are very much in this game.
08:49Binyam Fikri with their best chance just wide
08:52into first-half stoppage time.
08:55Bit of a halftime break.
08:57Senegal lead, but it's a slender one.
09:001-0 to the good.
09:04Heads on instead as we get back underway.
09:08Ethiopia looking to hit back.
09:13Nine shots, but none on target.
09:20Ibrahim Mbaye hit the back of the net with aplomb
09:25for his fifth international goal
09:29in just a fourth international start.
09:32Having mostly up to now
09:34made his impact from the bench.
09:39Certainly did that in the World Cup with a late goal.
09:42It's the country of his birth, France.
09:47It's a tough World Cup group,
09:48but they came through as the third best
09:50after thrashing Iraq.
09:59And then they had a real unforgettable rise and fall
10:05in the round of 32 against the Red Devils of Belgium.
10:09Malang Saar winning out the decision there.
10:12Yeah, try to...
10:15Ethiopian to see it his way as the goal kick was given.
10:20Malang Saar looking to be a little bit more relaxed.
10:22The Neom defender having...
10:29Well, FFF President Abdoulaye Fahl
10:33called Vieira's appointment an absolute necessity.
10:37Well, a booking has been handed out.
10:41Malang Saar looking a bit sheepish.
10:46Well, Ethiopia clearly think it should be more.
10:50Honest to say, completely missed that.
10:58Well, from the Ethiopian player's reaction,
11:01he wanted a red card.
11:03Can only guess.
11:06Well, what an unforgettable debut
11:10in international football that would have been.
11:13He's hoping to do so at the second time of asking.
11:17And if he does,
11:18Senegal will earn the first win of Patrick Vieira's reign.
11:24Maybe there was a chance to cut back.
11:26There was so much space out left.
11:33Ethiopia still fighting
11:34for a first shot on goal.
11:38Even better.
11:40That can be a goal.
11:42Oh, brilliant play to get to the byline.
11:45The cutback on!
11:46Yeva Jouf to the rescue!
11:51A brilliant ball from Cernet Cuxa.
11:58Jouf.
12:00Good strength from Abdallah Seema.
12:05In the end, he does get the free kick.
12:09Of course, Bele not interested in allowing him
12:12an easy pass inside.
12:13Does well as it's forced back.
12:17Sarabu Sane.
12:20Great touch and turn.
12:26Now in by.
12:28Wonderful skills.
12:30Jackson.
12:31Shot wasn't on,
12:33but it's broken kindly for Malik Jouf.
12:36Ganaghi.
12:41Runs into traffic.
12:45So does
12:46Belay.
12:50Real battle on the edge of the area.
12:54Having made his debut
12:55in World Cup
12:59warm-up
13:01against the United States.
13:08Plenty high hopes for
13:11former Gabino stars.
13:13Now having signed
13:16for Bayern Munich.
13:26As it is.
13:29And certainly Ethiopia
13:31who have not lost
13:32any of their enthusiasm.
13:34Just lacking that
13:36little extra quality.
13:38So confirmation.
13:40Rennes Issa Sumari
13:41on for his
13:42Senegal debut
13:44in place of
13:45Lons' Abdallah Sima.
13:48Now he wants another go.
13:49Cuts back though
13:50away from him by.
13:54Swung out to
13:55Berani.
13:57Well seem to get caught
13:59in two minds.
14:00Oh, that is a wonderful turn.
14:03Issa Sumari.
14:06Another red-booted attacker.
14:09But that is beautifully
14:10won back by
14:11Yared Bey.
14:18Well Senegal
14:19are going to be frustrated.
14:22Ethiopia
14:23unhappy.
14:32To all three points
14:33but can they wrap it up
14:34earlier.
14:37Brilliant defending
14:38and then a real risk
14:39taken there
14:39but it's
14:40rather than a penalty
14:41ended in a
14:42foul
14:44against Samuel.
14:47It will be a yellow card
14:49as well
14:50but just again
14:51again certainly
14:53not the first
14:54of his career.
14:59in the end
15:00Senegal
15:00lost that
15:01third place
15:01playoff
15:02to Cote d'Ivoire
15:04while Ghana
15:05defeated
15:06the host
15:07Tunisia
15:08for what
15:09back then
15:09was their
15:10second title.
15:13Ethiopia
15:15crowned
15:15African champions
15:16in 1962
15:18but they've had

15:27Senegal
15:27with the corner
15:28comes out
15:29to the edge
15:29of the area
15:30but sliced
15:31well wide
15:33by
15:34not finding
15:35the same
15:36quality
15:36as his
15:3711th minute
