🔥 Record in 5-0 rout: Senegal make history with emphatic win | OneFootball

After the Senegalese had to swallow frustrating defeats in their first two World Cup matches against France and Norway, the door to the round of 16 is now wide open.

Thanks to their emphatic 5-0 win over a depleted Iraq side, the West Africans climbed to fifth place for the time being in the table of third-placed teams and now have a good chance of advancing.

And that’s not all! With the goal-filled triumph over Iraq, Sadio Mané & Co. also made history. 

Senegal thus became the first African team ever to score five goals in a single World Cup match. Before that, Algeria and Morocco held the record, each having scored four in one game. 

An all-round successful evening for Senegal!
