Senegal 5

 

Mamadou Niang (Al-Sadd SC | QAT)
vs. Libya (1:2) | AFCON | 2012 in Equatorial Guinea

For Senegal, the 2012 AFCON was an absolute nightmare. They came to the tournament in Equatorial Guinea as one of the favourites, with players like Demba Ba or Papiss Demba Cissé in their absolute prime, and went home losing all three group matches - against the underdogs of Equatorial Guinea, Libya and Zambia. It was really a disaster for them and as a result, they quickly threw away their shirts following the tournament and got a new design.

As a result, this shirt was a bit forgotten, despite it being actually quite nice, in my opinion. It is relatively simple and just another template that Puma threw at them - but thanks to the colour combination, it actually does work well for me. So when I had the chance to grab it for around 30€, I just took my chance and am happy I did.
