The South American equalizer in the 68th minute but two minutes later the captain Kalidou Koulibaly gave a further advantage to the Lions.

With this precious victory, Senegal finished second in their group behind the Netherlands, who defeated Qatar 2-0.

The next opponent will be Marcus Rashford’s England, once again who domineered against their neighbours Wales.

England easily won 3-0 with a double from Manchester United striker Phil Foden, who also scored.

Rashford scored two goals at Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium, making him the co-leading scorer at the World Cup with three goals — the same as France striker Kylian Mbappe and two others. Phil Foden, another England player who made his first start in Qatar on Tuesday, got the other.

See you this Sunday in Qatar for a real fight of the lions.
