The Senegalese side zoomed into Saturday’s final with a 100 per cent record, winning all their matches without conceding a goal.
The Young Scorpions came from the break seeking to get back into the match but were unable to break the defence of the Senegalese.
The Young Teranga Lions dominated possession in the opening exchanges of the second period with Lamine Camara and Mamadou Camara pulling the strings for Malick Daf’s side. Senegal captain Samba Diallo twice came close to extending their lead and substitute Mouhamed Gueye hit the Young Scorpions’ post with a ferocious effort in stoppage time.
