Sarr and Koulibaly put Senegal on course to qualify

Ecuador took on Senegal in the first effective knockout clash at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Both teams were fighting for a last 16 spot. 

It was Senegal who drew first blood. Ismaila Sarr took advantage of his physical strength and, after getting ahead of Piero Hincapie, Sarr won a penalty just before half-time. 

Sarr, Senegal's main man, took responsability and he calmly slotted to the goalkeeper's left.

Moises Caicedo then levelled for Ecuador from a corner after 67 minutes before Koulibaly made it 1-2 just three minutes later. Senegal will qualify for the last 16 as it stands.
