1 / 3

Senegal goalkeeper Adji Ndiaye delivered a stunning performance on her 20th birthday as Senegal held WAFCON hosts Morocco to a goalless draw in Rabat. The former striker denied Yasmin Mrabet from the penalty spot in the 69th minute. After the referee ordered a retake, Ndiaye saved the second attempt as well. She made seven saves in total and was named Woman of the Match. Morocco still finished top of Group A with seven points and no goals conceded. Algeria qualified in second place after beating Kenya 2-0, while Senegal ended the group in third with four points.

How do you reset mentally after saving a penalty, only to be told it must be retaken? Ndiaye's composure sounds remarkable.

Agreed, that kind of calm under a second chance is what separates strong keepers from the rest.

A 20th birthday goalless draw against the hosts, with two penalty saves in the same sequence, is quite a moment for Ndiaye.

The saves deserve praise, but the retake decision clearly shaped the drama too. It was not simply one ordinary penalty stop.

Senegal should treat this as a confidence-building defensive result, while reviewing how they can avoid conceding such high-pressure chances.
