Sadio Mane leads Senegal demolition job against Kenya . He scored a first half hat-trick as Senegal taught Benni McCarthy’s Kenya a footballing lesson that the East Africa nation will remember for years.
The former Liverpool forward had an easy game, just like the rest of his teammates, in a friendly match played in Turkey on Tuesday evening which the Teranga Lions won 8-0.
Senegal were 4-0 up after just 17 minutes after capitalising on a number of defensive mistakes from their hosts.
Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson, currently on loan at Bayern Munich, opened the floodgates after nine minutes when he received a ball in the box after El Hadji Malick Diouf had intercepted a poor pass from Polokwane City goalkeeper Brian Bwire.
Kenya’s worst defeat in history came in 1961 when they lost 13-2 against Ghana during a friendly to celebrate Jamhuri Day.
