Senegalese Ligue 1: AJEL beats Sonacos and provisionally takes first place

This is the opening match of the Matchday 16 of the championship this Saturday.

AJEL got off to a good start in the second half of the 2025-26 season of the Senegalese Ligue 1. Hosting Sonacos this 21 February for the kick-off of the Matchday 16, the home team did what they had to do.

They beat the visitors by a narrow 1-0 margin. The match was marked by suspense and no goals throughout the first half. It was in the second half that AJEL found the breakthrough to secure the victory. Lamine Sagna broke the deadlock in the 65th minute.

Thanks to this success, AJEL regained first place in the championship with 30 points, pending US Gorée's 16th match day game on Sunday 22 February against Teungueth FC.
