WAFCON 2026: Who Was Named Woman of the Match in Senegal’s 1-0 Win Over Kenya?

Adji Ndiaye was named the official Woman of the Match after producing a brilliant goalkeeping display in Senegal’s hard-fought 1-0 victory over Kenya at the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).

The Senegal goalkeeper was the difference between the two sides, making a series of outstanding saves to preserve her team's narrow lead throughout the contest.

Ndiaye finished the match with eight saves, repeatedly denying Kenya's attackers and keeping a clean sheet as Senegal came under sustained pressure, particularly in the closing stages.

Her heroics ensured that Seynabou Mbengue's first-half goal was enough to hand Senegal a crucial three points in Group A.

With her commanding performance between the posts, Ndiaye deservedly walked away with the official Woman of the Match award, helping Senegal keep their hopes of reaching the WAFCON 2026 quarter-finals firmly alive.
