Qatar has a good degree. Hassan just takes a shot from 25 meters to the left. His hard shot just misses the right angle. That was a nice try.
58′
15:21
Senegal is unusually open. Actually, the guests could close behind at a score of 2-0 and lurk for a counterattack. Instead, they keep inviting Qatar to launch rapid counterattacks.
56′

Tooor for Sénégal, 0:2 by Famara Diédhiou
Now it will be extremely difficult for Qatar. Senegal made it 2-0 with the first chance in the second round. Jakobs brings a corner from the right to the short pentagon. Diédhiou sprints to the ball and heads it sensitively into the far corner. That was a heavily played standard.

mid-term conclusion
Senegal go into half-time with a 1-0 lead over Qatar. At the beginning of the game, the Africans were clearly superior. They had better chances and pushed Qatar in the back. But the hosts caught themselves during the first half. The game became more balanced. Senegal continued to have more of the ball and more finishing, but Qatar kept threatening on the break. After one of these counterattacks, Afif went down in the penalty area in the 34th minute and demanded a penalty. But Mateu Lahoz rightly did not point to the point. Instead, a few minutes later, an individual error in Qatar’s defense led to Senegal 1-0. Everything is still possible in the second half.

Tooor for Sénégal, 0:1 by Boulaye Dia
Out of nowhere, Senegal takes the lead! Khoukhi wants to clear a cross from the left halffield. But he doesn’t hit the ball properly. The bullet bounces against his upper body and from there in front of Dia’s feet. The Senegalese doesn’t hesitate. He pushes the ball flat from ten meters to the right of the left post.
37′
14:38
The game is balanced now. After a superior early phase by the Senegalese, the home side fought their way in. Senegal still have more of the ball but Qatar’s counterattacks are always a threat.
34′
14:35
Qatar has the best chance of the game. The hosts play an exemplary counterattack. Afif would have to deduct left in the penalty area. But he stops again and waits for the contact of the approaching Sarr. Then Afif goes down and wants a penalty. Mateu Lahoz lets it continue and that is absolutely correct. The Qatari just wanted to be fouled in this situation.

Ahmed hurt his hand during the action. He had to be treated briefly, but fortunately he can continue to play.

19′
14:19

17′
14:18
Qatar goalkeeper Meshaal Barsham doesn’t look good at the following corner. He doesn’t hit the ball coming out. Diedhiou comes up with a header. But his degree is right next to it.
16′
14:16
For the first time a goalkeeper has to intervene. A Qatari ball loss in their own penalty area puts Diatta in position. The Senegalese shoots from a tight angle to the left of the goal. Barsham saves the shot to the corner.

game start
1:48 p.m
Aliou Cissé makes two changes to Senegal from their 2-0 draw with the Netherlands. Ismail Jakobs, who was born in Cologne, starts today in defense instead of Pape Cissé. As a result, Leipzig’s Abdou Diallo moves from external to central defence. In addition, striker Famara Diédhiou joins the team. He replaces central midfielder Cheikhou Kouyaté, making the line-up more attacking.
13:41
On the staff: Félix Sánchez makes three changes to the hosts compared to the opening game. Al-Sheeb, Al-Rawi and Abdulaziz Hatem are initially on the bench. Barsham, Mohammed and Madibo start for this.
13:29
Senegal lost their opening game 2-0 to the Netherlands. The defeat against the favorites was by no means a clear matter. The Africans were equal over long stretches. It wasn’t until the 84th minute that Oranje made it 0-1. Senegal even had the better chances up to that point. Aliou Cissé’s side are therefore still serious contenders for a place in the round of 16. A win against Qatar is practically a must.
13:21
Qatar became the first host country in the history of the World Cup to lose the opening game on Sunday. Félix Sánchez’s team had no chance in the 0-2 draw against Ecuador. The hopes for a sportingly successful World Cup are likely to be relatively low in Qatar. A win against Senegal is needed today, otherwise reaching the round of 16 will be a Herculean task.
