Aliou Balde and Amete Faye rose from the bench to inspire Senegal to come from behind and beat the USA 4-1 in a Fifa Under-17 World Cup Group D game at the Estadio Kleber Jose de Andrade in Cariacica, Brazil on Sunday.
It was a dream start for Senegal in their maiden appearance at the tournament as Souleymane Faye cancelled out USA’s lead they had taken through Gianluca Busio, while Pape Sarr wrapped-up the rout late on.
Busio had thrust the Americans ahead by heading into the bottom right corner a cross from Joseph Scally as early as three minutes into the match.
