22:10 – The summary of the match
No mercy for the English against the Senegalese in this round of 16 of the 2022 World Cup (3-0). The Three Lions join the Blues in the quarter-finals. And yet, the start of the match suggested that the Teranga Lions could also have risen to this stage of the competition. Indeed, Aliou Cissé’s men got the best chances in the first half hour. Boulaye Dia fell on a Pickford of the great evenings who repelled his powerful strike from the cuff like a Neuer (32nd). As for the English, they showed more success and did not even heat up Edouard Mendy. The Chelsea goalkeeper is beaten by Henderson who concludes a very good English collective action (38th) on the first English offensive. And as both nations headed into the break, the Three Lions punished an overly attacking Senegal side for a second time. The latter pushes and places a large number of players at the forefront but the English will proceed against and Harry Kane will open his counter in this World Cup (45th + 2). In the second period, the Teranga Lions seemed too impacted by the goal scored just before returning to the locker room. Indeed, the English dominated the beginning of the second act and even concretized their period of domination with a goal from Bukayo Saka, perfectly served by Phil Foden (57th). This third goal was the blow for the Lions of Teranga who then never reacted in this match. Gareth Southgate will take the opportunity to rotate before the shock which is announced this Saturday, December 10 in the quarter-finals against France.
