Afcon 2019: Senegal experience will prepare us for future games - Tanzania captain Samatta

Tanzania captain Mbwana Samatta is confident that the Taifa Stars have learnt lessons from their defeat to Senegal in Sunday’s Africa Cup of Nations game.

Keita Balde’s effort and an audacious strike from Krepin Diatta condemned Emmanuel Amuneke’s men – who are making a return to the tournament after 39 years - to a 2-0 loss at the 30 June Stadium.

The Teranga Lions dominated the game to ensure the Taifa Stars’ chances of scoring were limited and the Genk forward admitted the superiority of their opponents but believes their experience in the game will prepare them for future challenges.
