Afcon 2019: Is Senegal's wealth of options a blessing or a curse?

Senegal began the 32nd edition of the Africa Cup of Nations as one of the favourites to lift the trophy on July 19, and it’s easy to understand why, based on their emphatic 2-0 victory over Tanzania.

Their performance, without star player Sadio Mane, was impeccable, and while Emmanuel Amuneke’s side didn’t give themselves much of a chance with their error-strewn performance, the victors were full value for their success as they dominated the East African nation.

Are Senegal really good or are Tanzania just appalling? This is [arguably] the most dominant performance by any side at this Nations Cup finals so far.
