Senegal beat Ecuador 2-1 in the last group match and qualified for the WM-round of 16. The first place in Group B is now waiting there. The South Americans, however, say goodbye to the tournament!
With the win, Aliou Cissé’s (46) team makes their injured superstar Mané (FC Bayern) proud! The forward cannot participate in the desert tournament. Africa’s footballer of the year injured his right fibula shortly before the start of the World Cup.
Chelsea star Kalidou Koulibaly (31) scored the decisive goal in a nerve-wracking game!
▶ 70 minutes: Gueye puts a free kick into the box from the right. There the ball bounces off to Koulibaly. The captain nets from a short distance. 2:1!
Even the previous hits fall by standards.
▶ 42 minutes: Ecuador defender Hincapie puts a lot of physical effort into the box against Sarr. TOO intense for French referee Turpin’s taste – penalty kick! The foul occurs himself, pushes in at the bottom right. 1:0
The Leverkusen central defender (moved to the Bundesliga in the summer of 2021) is the undisputed regular in Gustafo Alfaro’s (60) team at the World Cup. In the most important game of the tournament, however, he lacks sensitivity and impetuously clears the Senegalese. That could have been defended more elegantly.

▶ 68 minutes: Torres extends an Ecuador corner, Caicedo is completely blank at the far post. 1:1
Then comes Koulibaly!
By the way, Ecuador would have progressed with a point. Because of the defeat, it’s time to say goodbye to the World Cup.
The Senegalese, on the other hand, are happy about their first place in the round of 16 since 2002. At that time, the team even reached the round of the last eight.
Will the reigning African champions make it even further this time?
