On a quiet night in Bafoussam, Senegal and Guinea met not as rivals seeking glory but as two sides carefully managing their passage through uncertainty. A goalless draw at the Africa Cup of Nations left both teams with four points and a near-certain path to the knockout rounds, even as the match itself revealed the fragility that COVID-19 and absent leaders can impose on even the most celebrated squads. Sometimes in football, as in life, survival is its own kind of progress.
