In a dominant display during the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers, Nicolas Jackson netted his first-ever goal for Senegal as the national team triumphed over Malawi with a 4-0 victory. The match, which took place as part of the qualification rounds for the prestigious tournament, saw Senegal assert their superiority on the pitch.
Jackson, who has been a rising star for both club and country, finally opened his scoring account for the national team in this crucial fixture. His goal came at a critical moment, adding to Senegal’s already commanding lead. Jackson’s pace, dribbling, and positioning proved to be a challenge for Malawi’s defense throughout the game.
The Senegalese side, reigning AFCON champions, demonstrated their depth and strength across the field, with three additional goals coming from different players to seal the 4-0 win. The victory secured Senegal’s place at the top of their qualification group, boosting their chances of defending their AFCON title.
Jackson’s first international goal will likely be a major confidence booster for the young forward, as he continues to establish himself as a key player in Senegal’s squad heading into the tournament.
