Is there only one kickoff time?
Senegal does not split this friendly across several kickoffs. The zone is Africa/Dakar, UTC+0, abbreviated GMT in the time-zone data. Dakar is enough to set the alarm for the whole country on this date. A second city in Senegal does not get its own hour unless it is actually in another zone, and none is in play here.
Dakar is GMT, UTC+0, so this is an 11:00pm Tuesday kickoff. Senegal does not move to West Africa Time in October. A Lagos midnight alarm is an hour late.
