Senegal stopped in the quarterfinals of the U19 world. The Cubs lost to the United States by a score of 88 to 58. A gap of 30 points which reflects the domination of the reigning American world champions and holders of the title.
Terminus! The Senegal team’s journey to the U19 World Cup ended yesterday, Friday July 9, in the quarter-finals. The Cubs came up against the United States and lost on the mark from 88 to 58. A gap of 30 points which reflects the domination of the world champions. A domination which was exerted from one end of the other of the meeting. Overtaken from the outset, the colts of Sir Parfait Adjivon cash in on a 9-0. The American team imposes its game and removes the first quarter by authority (32-14).
The vice-champions of Africa find the floor with more energy. But the Lion cubs find over the minutes some offensive virtues. In proportion to the points scored, the Senegalese even gain the upper hand (18-15). But this good offensive behavior will however be insufficient to come back to the level of the opponent.
With a succession of award-winning shots, the United States had indeed started to widen the gap at half-time (47-32). A score that will crescendo since the world champions are quick to add to the balance by dropping the colts of Sir Parfait Adjivon to 23 points at the end of the third quarter time (42-65). The money time or last act of play will be a simple formality for young Americans who end up coasting with a mattress of 30 points difference (88-58).
Eliminated, Senegal comes down this Saturday on the floor for a classification match that will oppose Spain.
Winners seven times in this competition, the United States will meet Canada in the semi-finals.
