AFCON 2025: Jackson scores brace as Senegal beat Botswana 3-0

Senegal kicked off their AFCON 2025 campaign with a 3-0 victory over Botswana, powered by a brace from Bayern Munich striker Nicholas Jackson.

The Chelsea loanee opened the scoring in the first half and doubled the lead in the second, giving the Lions of Teranga a comfortable start to the tournament.

Second-half substitute Ndiaye wrapped up the win with a simple tap-in, sealing Senegal’s victory.

So far, Jackson is the only player to have scored twice in the competition, putting him in contention for the Golden Boot.
