00:43The pressure is on. Senegal go first, which is technically, statistically an advantage in what is always basically a lottery.
00:58Foul for Senegal.
01:01Like you say, if you go first, you put the pressure on the team, the next kick.
01:07Certainly, if you convert.
01:10Exactly, you have to convert.
01:11Yeah, it's foul for Senegal against Kasumba.
01:18It's foul down the middle.
01:21Oh, very, very, very clean penalty and nice and composed.
01:291-0.
01:33Yep, keeper goes the wrong way.
01:35Pretty central, that was.
01:37Senegal 1, Uganda 0 in the shootout.
01:41That is the advantage that we were talking of.
01:43It puts the opposition under pressure if you convert that first one.
01:49So, coming now, Bashir Edema.
01:53He did have a decent game for Uganda.
01:59Now, this is a big moment.
02:03Edema.
02:08Referee says, let's go.
02:10It's Edema.
02:11Against Oprera.
02:15Takes his time.
02:17Really takes his time.
02:19The crowd say, get on with it.
02:24Edema.
02:25Yes, in slow motion.
02:28Nice goalkeeper.
02:28Well taken, yeah.
02:29Nice goalkeeper.
02:301-1.
02:32Nice, nice kick.
02:34I think he's confident.
02:36And I like what he done.
02:38He took the pressure off himself.
02:40And put it on the big goalkeeper.
02:43I don't like it when you take your time.
02:46Yeah, but he's taking his time.
02:47But he's not starting to run.
02:49So, it's just action upon action.
02:52Standing that static, Steve.
02:54But he, I think he plays a lot to the goalkeeper's mind.
02:58Barra Gay.
02:59The Senegal captain.
03:03Potentially player of the tournament.
03:04If they win the tournament, I would say.
03:07But can he do the job here?
03:10He scored three times at the tournament.
03:13Barra Gay.
03:15It is Barra Gay.
03:17Rolls it in comfortably.
03:19Nice penalty.
03:22Nice, mature penalty.
03:25Is not one of them, the Senegalese or the Ugandan, set for goals of the tournament?
03:32Yep.
03:34I was surprised with the girls.
03:35There were so few missed penalties.
03:37And you expect more misses at this under-15 level, don't you, Kevin?
03:41Yes, I do.
03:44You're not going to have the same power, but they did brilliantly well, did the girls.
03:4915 out of 18 went in.
03:54Or 17 out of 20, I think, yeah?
03:56Yeah.
03:57Okay, coming next.
04:04Kitimbo.
04:06For Uganda.
04:08It's Kitimbo.
04:12That is very cool, isn't it?
04:14Very cool.
04:16Nice.
04:17But he makes the goalkeeper commit himself, and then he puts it where he wants to.
04:23That's intelligence.
04:25And it's such pressure.
04:26It shows a lot of maturity at this age.
04:29There's a trophy at stake here.
04:32Now, this is the Senegal sub, Mbengue.
04:36Came on fairly late.
04:39Is he a penalty specialist?
04:41I always say that this is like throwing a dice.
04:47Yep.
04:49It is Pierre Mbengue for Senegal.
04:55Can he do the job here?
04:57It's Mbengue.
05:00It is 3-2.
05:02All five have been converted.
05:12Keeper couldn't reach it, but he guessed correct.
05:15Yes.
05:16But because of the speed and the distance towards the upright, that's what you get.
05:25Next up, for Uganda.
05:28They need to level.
05:29It's Musisi.
05:31Frank Musisi is one of those late substitutions.
05:34So was he brought on because he's a penalty specialist?
05:42Brought on all those players in the last couple of minutes.
05:45I don't know yesterday did he take a penalty, this number 11.
05:49Not that I remember.
05:50It's Musisi here up against a Prera.
05:56He takes his time.
05:58Musisi.
06:00It's Hayash.
06:02It is 3-3.
06:04Very similar to the boy who put it in the corner.
06:08The action.
06:10Hold, hold, hold, until the goalkeeper commits himself.
06:13And then he puts it in the other corner.
06:15Yep.
06:15I think very, very mature penalties, Steve.
06:20Next up, 3-3 it is.
06:24No misses yet.
06:25Shake, Omar, see, Senegal's star striker.
06:28But he has to deliver here.
06:30Three goals in the tournament.
06:32And the golden boot at stake here.
06:34Yep.
06:35And he is another potential player of the tournament.
06:39Certainly in the team of the tournament, you would think.
06:40But what's he going to do in this big moment?
06:43Shake, Omar, see.
06:46Here he goes.
06:47It's see.
06:48Yeah.
06:50Placement.
06:51Not power there.
06:52Exactly.
06:56So far, the penalties have been quality, quality, quality penalties.
06:59They have.
07:00Absolutely nail-biting this.
07:03Who's going to be the boys' champions at the 2026 CAF African Schools Football Championship?
07:094-3.
07:09Senegal, the lead Uganda.
07:12No misses yet.
07:17And coming up next, Akram Senyonga, another of those who was brought on as a sub.
07:24So it does seem as though those substitutions were to bring on the penalty specialists.
07:30Akram.
07:32But the pressure is mounting.
07:35No misses yet.
07:364-3.
07:36It is.
07:37It's Akram.
07:40There was not much pace there, Kevin, was there?
07:454-4.
07:51If that was saved, you say that that was a really weak penalty, I think.
07:55Say that against him?
07:56If that was saved, you say that was a weak effort.
07:59For sure.
07:59But the intent to make the goalkeeper go and then put the ball, it doesn't matter.
08:10How he saves it.
08:11But most of the penalties, they are making the goalkeepers commit before they kick.
08:18That's what I've seen.
08:19That's the strategy.
08:21That's the strategy.
08:214-4.
08:21It's effectively sudden death now.
08:24This is a defender.
08:26The right back.
08:27Camera.
08:29Camera for Senegal.
08:32Somebody has to miss.
08:33It's a long run-up, this.
08:35It's a long run-up.
08:37Wow.
08:42Well, it comes in a bit now.
08:46Camera just squeezes it through.
08:495-4.
08:52Now the pressure really on Uganda.
08:54A lot of speed on the ball.
08:56And again.
08:59Well done.
09:00Nice penalty.
09:02Oh, the tension is something here.
09:04Uganda must convert to stay alive.
09:10This is another of the subs.
09:12Livingston Kulata.
09:16They did make that mass substitution because of them being penalty specialists.
09:24Kulata, who also got the captain's armband, only came on.
09:29This is a huge moment.
09:31You need to score to stay alive.
09:33If he misses, Senegal are the champions.
09:36It's 5-4.
09:38Big pressure on Kulata.
09:44The tall keeper, Preah.
09:50He hesitates.
09:51It's Kulata.
09:53It's saved.
09:54Off the post.
09:55Senegal are the champions.
09:57Livingston Kulata.
10:00His one is saved.
10:02Senegal.
10:04The new champions of the CAF African Schools Football Championship for the boys.
10:095-4 on penalties over Uganda.
10:12After a goalless draw.
10:16Oh, that was just high pressure, Kevin.
10:18It was high pressure.
10:19You've got to feel sorry for Kulata.
10:21But he did look a little nervy there.
10:24Look at that.
10:25Yes, I feel sorry for them.
10:27But I think the showboating before kicking the penalty was just a little bit too much.
10:36And he didn't have the nerve to wait until the goalkeeper committed himself.
10:41Good luck to Senegal.
10:43Senegal are the champions.
10:44They were third in 2024.
10:47They were second in 2025.
10:49They are the champions in 2026.
10:535-4.
10:55In a penalty shootout.
10:5710-8.
10:5710-8.
10:5710-8.
