Afcon 2019: Senegal coach Cisse shifts focus to Kenya after Algeria defeat

Senegal coach Aliou Cisse has shifted his focus to their final Africa Cup of Nations Group C game against Kenya after his side lost to Algeria on Thursday.

Youcef Belaili’s 49th-minute strike - his first in the Africa Cup of Nations – condemned the Teranga Lions to a 1-0 defeat and ended their five-game unbeaten run.

The loss has put the West Africans in danger of elimination from the tournament as a second consecutive defeat when they take on Harambee stars will halt their progress to the knockout stage.
