Afcon 2019: Senegal will not go for revenge against Algeria - Cheikou Kouyate

Senegal captain Cheikou Kouyate has denied his team will be aiming at avenging their 1-0 loss suffered against Algeria in the group stages of Africa Cup of Nations.

The two teams will face each other on Friday in the finals of the competition in Egypt and many see this as an opportunity for the Teranga Lions to avenge the initial loss.

However, the captain claims it is not going to be the case and all they will be targeting is the Afcon title.
