As for Senegal, their sorry campaign closes with a whimper, as a third succe sive 2-1 lo Jerome Bettis Jersey s means one of the pre-tournament favouritesgo home without a point.Libya got off to a fantastic start as Albusaifi grabbed the first of his brace after just five minutes, poking the ball under Senegal keeper Khadim Ndiaye.&# Pittsburgh Steelers Jersey 13; Deme Ndiaye, scorer in the defeat to Zambia, equalized shortly afterwards in the 11th minute with a near post header from Mamadou Niangs corner in an eventful opeining to the game.Senegal pre sed Devin Bush T Shirts further after the goal, winning a series of corners and stifling Libyas fluency. Despite this, the Lions of Teranga couldnt find a second goal and restore some much need pride.The second half was far more of a stop-start affair, as both sides were guilty of niggly fouls that disrupted the games rhythm.
