Senegal made perfect use of Poland’s mistakes to win their World Cup Group H opener at Spartak Stadium in Moscow, Russia on Tuesday.
Poland’s 2-1 defeat to Senegal saw Cisse’s side become the first African team to secure a win at the 2018 World Cup.
Many African football fans must be proud of Senegal and will be hoping for more success from the team in the next matches after a stellar performance.
One thing that many fans across Africa and the World at large don’t know is that none of Senegal’s 23-man squad play in their home country. All but one, Guinea based club Horoya goalkeeper Khadim Ndiaye, play for European clubs.
