Bayern Striker Jackson Leads Senegal to Opening Win - Bayern Striker Jackson Leads Senegal to Opening Win
Senegal kicked off their Africa Cup of Nations campaign with a commanding 3-0 win over Botswana. The match, held in Tangier, Morocco, on December 23, 2025, saw Nicolas Jackson shine with two goals. His performance secured three crucial points for the West African side.
The 24-year-old striker, currently on loan at Bayern Munich from Chelsea, opened the scoring in the 40th minute. Jackson, who often plays second fiddle to Harry Kane at club level, proved decisive for his national team. He doubled Senegal’s lead in the 58th minute, putting the game beyond Botswana’s reach.
Cherif Ndiaye added a third in stoppage time, sealing the emphatic victory. The result places Senegal at the top of Group D, at least temporarily ahead of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Senegal now sit on three points after their opening match. Jackson’s brace and Ndiaye’s late strike ensured a strong start to their tournament. The team will look to build on this performance in their next fixture.
