🇸🇳 El Hadj Diouf plays a very unique role in Senegal's national team setup: with no official title, one of things he does so well is to absorb pressure so that the players can focus. Here he is, "engaging" hostile DRC fans in Kinshasa. Senegal won 3-2.

The goal: 🇲🇦 Morocco's coach took a gamble and used 1 of 2 available VAR requests to ask for a penalty. He did not get it, but ref gave a freekick instead. Then Zabiri stepped up and did this for 1-0.

Iñaki Williams has every right to feel aggrieved about what seems to be a pattern of repeated snubs when he makes great runs in the Ghana team. So unfair.

Asante Kotoko were leading when, late into Ghana's biggest club football match, Hearts of Oak got this goal — but ref Reginald Collins whistled for offside just before Mawuli Wayo pulled the trigger. Good call or not? FT: 🌈 0-1 🦔

Well, this was awkward. 🇺🇸 Chris Robinson had to deal with his privates constantly coming out of their holder at today's 400m hurdles in Ostrava. Clearly slowed him down a bit — but he still won in a SB of 48.05! Competition wasn't stiff, obvz.

🇸🇳 Gana Gueye after Senegal beat Botswana: "It's good to win 3-0, score three goals and not concede any. But I find it a shame to only score three goals when you are better than a team. You've got to crush them, that's how they show you respect!"
