The Teranga Lions, in a match that kicked off at 03:00 local time, were in control throughout, scoring a goal in each half to secure a straightforward victory. Despite Burundi's defensive efforts, the quality gap was evident as Senegal's star players created numerous chances. The clean sheet continues Senegal's impressive defensive record in the qualifiers.
