The Gambia U-20 team suffered a 3–1 defeat to Senegal’s U-23 side in a friendly match played at the Leopold Sédar Senghor International Stadium in Dakar.

Antoine Junior Wenck gave Senegal the lead in the 2nd minute before Abdoulie Dieng doubled their advantage in the 32nd minute.

Antoine Junior Wenck completed his brace in the 51st minute to put Senegal 3–0 ahead.

The Gambia pulled one back through Francis Gomez, who finished after a brilliant assist from Sherif Bah, whose magical outside-of-the-boot pass unlocked the Senegalese defence.

The friendly served as preparation for the Young Scorpions ahead of their upcoming WAFU A U-20 Championship campaign.
